Opis

The development of employee assistance programs (EAPs) was one of the 20th century's most important workplace innovations. Emerging Trends for EAPs in the 21st Century examines the evolution of EAPs from their origin as a way of dealing with alcoholic employees to the multifaceted EAPs in the modern workplace. Today's EAPs serve employees affected by a great number of stressors related to the rapidly changing environment of today's workplaces as well as stressors related to the balancing of work and family issues. Emerging Trends for EAPs in the 21st Century offers insightful commentary, pragmatic information, and predictions for the future of employee assistance programs as we move into the new millennium.
