Whether you build roads, care for vulnerable children and adults or process unemployment claims, you and the work that you do matter to the people of North Carolina. As your employer, we are committed to helping you perform at your best.
As the variety of issues in today’s world becomes more complex and challenging, we may sometimes find ourselves unprepared to deal with life’s ups and downs. Problems are a normal part of life, yet finding a solution to them is often difficult, and they may adversely impact our job performance, conduct, health and well-being.
As a part of our commitment to you, your job and your success, North Carolina state government has contracted with an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to serve as a resource for helping you in times of need. Many of our agencies and universities have invested in this contractual agreement to offer you a wide range of support services.
Why are we making this investment in EAP?
First, it is a smart business investment. If you are doing well and day-to-day problems are not a distraction, you are more likely to be alert, motivated and industrious and we will have a more productive workforce. Second, it costs the state more to hire and train a new employee than it does to assist and retain an employee. And third, we care about you and want to improve the quality of life for North Carolina’s state government workforce. It’s that simple!
Please take advantage of these important services. You, state government and our state’s citizens will benefit.
I wish you continued success in your career with North Carolina state government!
