What is The Employee Assistance Program?
The New York State Employee Assistance Program is a joint Labor-Management Committee available to New York State employees, their families and the State agencies for which they work. This program is also available to State retirees. NYS EAP recognizes that employees are more than job titles or line items. They are people first and are subject to stresses and pressures that impact their ability to be effective at work.
