Employee Assistance Program (EAP) Proposal: Substance
Abuse Prevention and Support
1. Introduction / Background (10 marks)
Substance abuse in the workplace poses a serious challenge to
productivity, safety, and overall well-being. According to Nova
Recovery Center (2020), employees who abuse substances are
less productive, take more sick days, are prone to injuries, and
often have interpersonal conflicts. The World Health
Organization (WHO, 2021) emphasizes that substance abuse
can result in long-term health complications, job loss, and
reduced quality of life.
An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) focused on substance
abuse can help mitigate these issues by providing confidential
support services, counselling, and education. EAPs are
designed to promote mental, emotional, and physical
wellness, while reducing absenteeism and improving
employee engagement (Attridge, 2019).
This proposed EAP is inclusive, confidential, and available to
all employees. It emphasizes early intervention, access to

, professional counselling, peer support groups, and wellness
education.
2. Objectives of the EAP (5 marks)
 To raise awareness about substance abuse and its impact
on workplace performance and well-being.
 To provide confidential access to counselling and
rehabilitation services.
 To reduce absenteeism, errors, and accidents linked to
substance use.
 To support employees in recovery and reduce relapse
through consistent follow-up.
 To foster a healthy and supportive workplace culture that
encourages wellness and responsibility.
3. Wellness Initiatives (20 marks)
Wellness initiatives are proactive strategies to improve
employee health and reduce substance abuse risks. Key
components include:
a) Health and Substance Abuse Education Workshops
Regular workshops provide education on the dangers of
substance abuse, coping strategies, and where to get help.
These can reduce stigma and promote a culture of openness
(Goetzel et al., 2014).
