Employee well-being is about more than physical health—it also includes mental, emotional, and social support. That’s where an Employee & Family Assistance Program (EFAP) comes in.
What is EFAP?
An EFAP is a confidential service that connects employees and their families with professional resources to manage life’s challenges. These programs are designed to improve both individual well-being and workplace productivity.
Areas EFAP Can Support:
Mental health: Access to counseling, therapy, and coping strategies
Stress management: Tools for handling burnout, anxiety, and daily pressures
Financial and legal guidance: Professional advice to ease financial or legal concerns
Family and relationships: Support for parenting, partnerships, and communication
Crisis intervention: Immediate help in urgent situations
Why It Matters:
Research shows that when employees feel supported in all areas of their lives, they’re more engaged, resilient, and productive at work. For employers, providing EFAP isn’t just a benefit—it’s an investment in a healthier, more balanced workforce.
If your organization doesn’t yet offer EFAP, it may be worth exploring. If you already have access, remember: these resources are there for you—confidentially.
