You Down With EAP?
Norco's Finance Committee yesterday approved a $198,000 contract over a period of five years with Mazzitti and Sullivan to provide what HR Director Amy Trapp calls EAP. That is an employee benefit program that helps employee with personal problems like depression, grief or addiction issues that interfere with productivity. Trapp indicated that, in addition to helping employees, this program will reduce health care costs.
Mazzitti is one of nine companies that submitted proposals. Bob Werner groused that she did not provide the names and addresses of Lehigh Valley counselors used, but Trapp indicated there are likely several hundred of them.
Trapp: "You down with EAP?"
Council: "Yeah, you know me."

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
You would not need this if you got rid of Brown, Allen, and Trapp because the morale would improve.
ReplyDeleteI'm down with EDP. Every corporation I've worked for has offered something similar.

ReplyDeleteor if union pukes weren't such overpaid and under worked wimp cry babies
Morale and depression are at an all time low. I can see this when I visit. Add in about the courts current flaws and that is just another slap in the face. Wake up council!!!
ReplyDeleteBernie good morning,
ReplyDeleteI thought the abreaviation was EAP, historically this person dealt with all employees. Employee assitance person, many different issues that may hinder employees productivity.
This new abreveation is a twist in a old concept that most industries that are now defunct or have been relocated and outsourced to third world countries that don't even pay a living wage let alone insure there employees with healthcare?
REpublican redd patent pending
no party affilliation
That's what sick benefits are for. More taxpayers money down the drain. Fire the incompetents in 2017.
ReplyDeleteThe county had this program in the past at no cost so what is the big news besides it now costs 200 grand?
ReplyDelete7:34 AM not everyone is in the union. Why don't you come down and try to do our jobs for crap pay!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFor $50K I will do the job. You say, "Suck it up cupcake"
ReplyDeleteWill people be crying over Trump?
We need EAP to deal with the predator Smee.
ReplyDeleteWe employees need an expanded EAP. Right now, there is only one counselor and I would refuse to see him if I needed assistance, due to having some insider info. Glad to see there will be more options in the future.
