EAP helps employees with which issues?

• A. Work, financial, or social issues in a confidential setting
• B. Only work-related issues
• C. Only financial issues
• D. Only social issues

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that Employee Assistance Programs provide confidential support for a wide range of personal and work-related issues that can affect performance and well-being. This makes the best answer the one that includes work, financial, or social issues addressed in a confidential setting. EAPs offer short-term counseling, referrals, and crisis support for problems such as job stress, debt or money management, family or relationship difficulties, and other personal matters—all in a confidential, voluntary framework. The other options are too narrow, as EAPs are not limited only to work-related issues, only financial issues, or only social issues; they cover a broad spectrum of concerns that can influence work life.
