Historical background

In the 1940's, American companies started to implement the alcohol intervention program. Data on the negative impact of alcohol and drug abuse on employees and business collected through research contributed to the development of this program. The results of studies were shocking: business losses were enormous. The employers showed interest in reducing losses and developing a new approach to the problem. It was the first action plan in the workplace which served the interests of both employees and businesses.

The concept of the Employee Assistance program (EAP) was formed and presented in 1973.The main idea was that employees' personal problems not resolved in a timely manner can negatively impact not only their private life but also their performance at work.

Later, experts in employee support developed a number of programs which helped to boost employee wellbeing and contributed to the business efficiency.

Nowadays, the Employee Assistance Program is the basis of Wellbeing programs and experts in employee support have become specialists in corporate mental (behavioral) health.
