Managers can formulate employee assistance programs (EAP) to address a range of psychological and substance abuse programs that would eventually benefit employees and employers alike. EAPs however, can pose legal problems as employees may see EAPs as punishment and grounds for termination. It is therefore paramount that employers remain careful of EAP procedures so that employees view EAPs as constructive.
