A Few Highlights:
· The location at Gateway University Research Center at Brown Summit (across from the entrance to Bryan Park) remains convenient to Rockingham County while adding potential conference and training space.
· UNCG faculty advisors with expertise in conflict management are available to employers through the EAP consultants for assistance with policy/procedure upgrades and training needs.
· EAP consultants have increased opportunities to develop an enhanced referral network in the region for employees needing/requesting assistance beyond the initial EAP visits.
· Plan in development for a confidential, web-accessed EAP site that incorporates comprehensive behavioral health information and links to resources for employees.
· For face-to-face visits, employees seeing EAP services will have the option of choosing from the convenient Brown Summit location, on-site at their employer if permitted, or several neutral Rockingham County locations that will be pre-arranged. Confidentiality will continue to be stressed and discussed prior to arranging initial visits.
· A revised menu of training options will be offered to employers and will include a focus on conflict management strategies in the workplace along with Team Building, Stress Management, Healthy Choices for Success, Substance Abuse in the Workplace, Conflict Resolution in the workplace, and other training needs identified by employers.
