Workshops

Employee Assistance Network provides educational programs to promote awareness and solutions to common workplace issues such as stress management, conflict resolution, coping with change and transition, effective communication, parenting issues, violence prevention and dealing with substance abuse.

These programs may be integrated with an organizational wellness or risk management program.

Employee Assistance Network also provides training modules to teach managers and supervisors the concept of the EAN program as a management tool to aid in the resolution of productivity issues. The focus is on documentation, identification, early intervention, and resolution of job performance problems. Handouts and audiovisuals are incorporated into the sessions. Workshops may be modified as necessary to meet the individual needs of managers and supervisors.

To schedule a workshop for your organization, please contact your EAN account manager, either Dawn Klug at dawn@eannc.com, or Debra Bergman at debra@eannc.com.
