Assistance for Supervisors and Managers
EAP provides an excellent, confidential resource for employees and can be a valued and effective resource for supervisors and managers.
Here are some situations where EAP can provide organizational support for supervisors and managers:
- HR & Management Consultations
- Worry over an employee’s emotional state (grief, trauma, illness, odd behavior)
- Critical incident de-briefing
- Interpersonal conflicts between employees
- Suspected substance abuse
- Seminars and presentations on a variety of work and personal topics
- Supervisor Referral (for Job performance problems)
The Supervisor Referral process is a structured tool a manager, supervisor, or HR staff member can use to help employees address specific on-the-job performance problems that are causing concern. A Supervisor Referral triggers a more generous EAP benefit for the employee, increasing the maximum number of individual counseling visits from 5 to 10. Employee participation is voluntary.
Supervisors and managers are encouraged to talk with the Employee Relations Unit in the Human Resources Department and EAP early in the process when the first indications of job performance problems arise.
