A brief description of the employee wellness program, policy, or practice:
Cornell has both a wellness program and a Faculty and Staff Assistance Program (EAP). The Faculty and Staff Assistance Program offers free, confidential, professional assessment, counseling, consultation and referral services by telephone or in person to all benefits-eligible faculty, staff, retirees and their dependents. Supervisors can consult with FSAP for assistance in managing employees with personal problems or whose behaviors are causing poor job performance or interpersonal conflicts. Wellbeing workshops are offered through face-to-face and pre-recorded webinars on topics such as managing change, resolving interpersonal conflict, setting limits, depression, working with difficult people, seasonal affective disorder, self-image, overcoming stress, keeping relationship satisfaction high, sleep, chronic pain, and assertiveness. Counselors help employees with a variety of topics including stress related emotional issues; legal assistance; relationship issues; anger management; family issues and parent-child concerns; aging parents; domestic violence; grief/loss issues; divorce/separation adjustment; depression and anxiety; alcohol and drug concerns; financial concerns; single parenting; and interpersonal difficulties.
