"Helping Employers and Employees Cope With Change"

Welcome

“EAP professionals can help managers find the best in employees. EAP professionals can help employees find the best in themselves, to stay focused, make informed choices, and enjoy one’s work to the fullest. ”

Gary L. Gregor, Ph.D Director, SOEAP

Southern Oregon Employee Assistance Program

is about people. Employers contract with SOEAP so that their employees have free access to our counselors to address and solve a variety of personal and work-related problems. Our services are available if your employer contracts with us.

Your Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

can help. The EAP can provide the confidential, professional services needed to assist employees with personal problems that may affect their job performance.

Why an Employee Assistance Program?

Personal problems are a part of everyone's life. Some of these problems become too big to be solved alone and can interfere with job performance. Asking for help can be the first step toward resolving a problem and a positive way to overcome a negative situation.

Job security or promotional opportunities are not jeopardized by seeking counseling. Employers participating in this program encourage employees to maintain their physical and emotional health.

A survey by the Families and Work Institute found that twenty-eight percent of employees felt overworked often or very often in the past three months. Respondents who said they have control over their work did not report feeling as overworked, even if they worked very hard.
