Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

Success Story

Sandy has been with Goodwill® since August 2007. Sandy works in the retail processing area helping the job coaches by giving clothes and hangers to the clients. She also works out in the store hanging clothes, taking out dated clothes off the racks and bringing them back to the processing area. Sandy’s dream is to work out in the community one day, a goal she set in the fall.

To help her get ready she has been taking the ABE class to improve her reading skills & a Microsoft Word computer class. In 2009, she plans to attend the Employment Service workshops to help her get ready for community employment. Some of the workshops she plans to attend are: learning to do a resume, prepare for an interview, how to dress, how to speak in public and anger management. Sandy has been a great asset to Goodwill® and we wish her the best of luck fulfilling her dreams.

As many employers recognize the need to offer benefits that include EAP programs and services, so, too, does our Goodwill®.

From individual and family counseling to financial management and community resource referrals, our Goodwill® EAP program can help employees avoid the stress caused by personal issues, and can often prevent these problems from taking a toll on work performance, attendance and customer service provision.
