G. EAPs and Employee Wellness Programs: A Good Marriage?

Employee well-being continues to be a much talked about issue in today’s workplaces. EAPs and Employee Wellness Programs share that overall goal. . This workshop will explore the history of workplace employee wellness programs and their goals. We will define and explain the differences between primary, secondary and tertiary prevention as they apply to EAPs and Employee Wellness Programs. Does it make sense for EAPs and Employee Wellness Programs to be closer linked? What is the benefit to the employee and their family members? What does the future hold? Come join us to learn, to engage and discuss.
