A simple guide to Employee Assistance Programs

If you're looking at putting in place a workplace program to help your employees this guide is pretty useful. It helps you put together a set of programs to deal with the main workplace stressors such as diet, exercise, heart health and more.

It gives you guidelines for screening employees and setting in place programs to manage problems such as alcohol and drug dependence, poor nutrition, and stress related programs.

It is a short book consisting of checklists, ideas and resources for setting up your Employee Assistance Program. If you're looking for an overview to set you off in the right direction and need only some stimulation and ideas to get going this is a great handbook. If you want everything spelt out with sample programs then this book won't have the detail that you seek.

Instead it provides a checklist of ideas to tell you what you should consider when setting up workplace programs. There are some good health promotion ideas but not enough detail for someone who is looking for templates to implement immediately.
