These programs are available in both internal and external forms, and employees can choose their own therapist or find a therapist who will accept their EAP payment. 1 EAPs are voluntary and confidential programs that help employees work through various life challenges that may adversely affect job performance, health, and personal well-being to optimize an organization's success. 2 Employers should be aware of the pros and cons of each type of EAP, and should be aware of the different providers and services offered by the EAP. 1 Additionally, employers should be aware of coronavirus prevention and precaution tips 3 , and should encourage their employees to meet their weekly exercise quota in short, intense bursts. 3 HR News Roundup: What keeps HR people up at night 3 and Coronavirus (COVID-19): What employers need to know 3 are also important topics to consider.
