What is an Employee Assistance Program?
An employee assistance program, or EAP, is a work-based counseling and assistance program that helps employees deal with personal and work-related problems. The goals of an EAP are to identify and resolve problems that may be affecting job performance, improve workplace productivity, and maintain employee mental and physical health.
EAPs typically provide confidential assessment, short-term counseling, referral services, and follow-up services for employees and their families. Employee assistance programs are offered by many employers as a way to support the well-being of their employees and to improve workplace morale.
Employee mental health in Japan
The population of Japan is aging, and the number of working-age people is shrinking. This demographic change is having a profound impact on Japanese businesses, which are struggling to find enough qualified workers to fill jobs. The tight labor market is also leading to longer work hours and more pressure on employees. These trends are having a significant impact on employee mental health. A recent survey found that nearly 60% of workers in Japan are experiencing some form of mental health problem, including anxiety, depression, and burnout. The rate of mental health problems among Japanese workers is now the highest in the world. There are several reasons for the high rate of mental health problems among Japanese workers.
