The University of Georgia
Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
is no longer available
effective July 1, 2006.
Due to extremely low usage over the past three years, UGA has elected not to continue this program. On average, less than 2% of our employees used the EAP each year. HR continually examines how we spend money to better serve you, and this product was evidently not highly valued by most employees. Human Resources is reviewing alternative internal and external resources to address employee needs.
Employees with non-emergency health issues should contact their primary care physicians for assistance.
