Employee Assistance Programs: Emerging Trends

Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
April 1990

Abstract

Ninety-one Employee Assistance Program (EAP) policies were examined to assess factors associated with temporal changes and union endorsement. It was found that recent policies and policies with union participation were significantly more likely to: (a) emphasize mechanisms for promoting voluntary referral, (b) contain more procedures to protect confidentiality, and (c) mention the importance of informing employees about the EAP.

Les résultats démontrent que les politiques les plus récentes et celles qui rečoivent l'appui des syndicats: (a) sont précoccupées de développer des mécanismes de référence rapide; (b) comportent davantage de régles de protection de la confidentialité; (c) soulignent l'importance de diffuser auprès des employés l'information sur le programme.
