Departments may contact the EAP to assist in management issues such as team building, reorganization, and long-range planning. All of us are subject to stress. Some stress can be useful and motivate us. Excessive stress can be destructive. Such stress can result in a wide range of difficulties, including medical problems, preoccupation, insomnia, depression, or alcohol and drug abuse.
Relationships often suffer as adverse stress levels result in troublesome behavior.
The quality of work may also be reduced when stress affects concentration, judgment, and morale. When a job performance problem occurs, your supervisor may encourage you to use the Employee Assistance Program. Participation in the program is voluntary and separate from any standard disciplinary procedures enacted by an employer. If you have any questions about the EAP, it is always a good idea to check it out. Fees and expenses may result from a referral to another University program or community resource.
