About this title

Synopsis

Global Perspectives of Employee Assistance Programs is the first book of its kind to empirically address the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) concept and model in a diverse, global context. This book features a variety of studies which deal with the design, delivery, cultural adaptability, evaluation, and measurement of international employee assistance programs in a truly global variety of settings. Contributors also evaluate the impact of EAP on expatriates, the potential for an international well-being assessment tool, and the training of international EAP professionals. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Workplace Behavioral Health.
