• D. Personal issues, job stress, relationship issues, eldercare, childcare, harassment, substance abuse, separation and loss, balancing work and family, financial or legal issues, and family violence.

Answer: (D)

An Employee Assistance Program is designed to help employees manage personal and life issues that can spill over into work performance. EAPs address a wide range of concerns, including job-related stress, relationship problems, caregiving duties (eldercare and childcare), harassment, substance use, major life events (separation and loss), balancing work and family, financial or legal worries, and family violence. They provide confidential short-term counseling, crisis support, and referrals to community resources to help employees cope and return to work more effectively. These services aren’t about safety training, equipment procurement, or compliance education—areas handled by other parts of the organization—so the focus remains on personal well-being and its impact on work.
