Definition of Employee Assistance Program

G&W Equipment offers an Employee Assistance Program through New York Life.   New York Life calls their service “Life Assistance Program”.

Why G&W Equipment needs an EAP

We believe in the wellness of our employees and provide the EAP for times when you may need help through a crisis or want to learn new ways to deal with a problem that is not getting better on its own.

Will G&W Equipment know about my use of the EAP

EAP services are designed to protect confidentiality by keeping clinical records private. Any reports generated about program utilization are prepared in an anonymous format and contain only statistical data.

The types of problems the EAP can help me with

EAP consultants are good listeners as well as skilled counselors informed about resources that may be helpful in resolving a crisis or dealing with recurring life issues. The following is a list of issues that can be addressed within this program:

• Individual, Couple and Family Issues
• Parenting Issues
• Separation and Divorce Issues
• Childcare and Eldercare Issues
• Home and Workplace Stress
• Addictions
• Depression and Anxiety
• Job and Career Issues
• Financial Issues

If services are needed which are not available through the employee assistance program, EAP professionals will assist you in exploring options that respond to both personal and financial needs.

Cost of services

At no extra cost to you. An advocate can help you assess your needs and develop a solution.  New York Life offers discounts for fees associated with legal consultations and tax preparations.
