The Programme Managing Practitioner’s Guide for the Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) eBook

Description

This book sets the standards for any workplace substance management EAP or substance management intervention regarding substance related issues. Too many companies and service providers think an EAP is a rehabilitation programme – it is not. Rehabilitation for a minor issue is certainly manageable / achievable and great side effect of the intervention. For the more serious situations that can be extremely protracted, a company must show how they decided to take affirmative action against any employee. The purpose of this substance management intervention is to ensure the employee is legally fit for duty; the company has not compromised criminal & civil legislation and insurance obligations. Ignorance is no defence in law, the EAP must be
structured and provide the ability of the company to make formal decisions within its Corporate Governance, while still showing it is a company with a duty of care that has been duly processed.
