Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the proportion of companies which either already provided Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) or had plans to introduce such services at workplace, and to find out any obstacle in implementing EAPs services. Data were obtained from middle managers of Human Resources or Health and Safety department in 55 manufacturing companies. Participating companies have provided a lot of personal counseling and training for stress management, and implemented projects to improve interpersonal relations. Many companies are willing to introduce EAPs, however, various obstacles, such as lack of resources and lack of awareness among decision makers, prohibit them from introducing EAPs. In general, more and more workers are seeking social services including EAPs and companies came to recognize the need of EAPs. Proactive investment of both human resources and material resources and various promotional activities including social marketing are needed to develop EAPs in Korea.
