Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Employee assistance programs (EAPs) are specifically designed to provide support and assistance to employees who are dealing with personal problems that may affect their work performance or overall well-being. This includes issues related to drug dependence, alcoholism, and psychological problems. EAPs also help employers by reducing absenteeism, increasing productivity, and improving employee morale. Therefore, A) is the best choice.

B) Supervisor assistance programs, C) health benefits programs, and D) health insurance programs are not specifically designed to address personal problems encountered by workers. Supervisor assistance programs may include training and resources for managers to handle employee problems but do not provide direct assistance to employees. Health benefits and insurance programs may cover treatment for substance abuse or psychological problems, but they do not typically offer comprehensive support services like EAPs.
