Abstract

There are now over 1,000 research-based works available globally that document the need for and the benefits of workplace mental health and addiction support services. This body of research is summarized into key findings relevant identifying the best practices for the delivery and management of effective workplace behavioral health services in the context of collaboration with wellness services. A general overview of the current state of the employee assistance program (EAP) services is provided. Several trends are also identified that offer opportunities for greater integration of these services. These trends include: the corporate focus on employee health and productivity and employee engagement, integration of EAP, Work/Life and Wellness services, use of technology for accessing services, and policy changes.
