- The
Employee Assistance Program recognizes that
personal and family problems can negatively influence
work performance as well as affect students, colleagues
and supervisors. The most effective response to these
problems is early intervention. Therefore, the Northern
Illinois University Employee Assistance Program provides
confidential, professional consultation and assessment
for employees with a wide range of personal and family
concerns. When necessary the program links employees
and their family members with appropriate services within
both the university and the broader community.
- In
order to enhance the well being of all employees,
the Employee Assistance Program provides

needs of the unit. In addition, proactive wellness programs
are offered through the Wellness Brown Bag Luncheons.
