ABSTRACT
This chapter explores corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a set of organizing processes creating organizational environments directly impacting employee health and well-being. It explains the theoretical overview of corporate social responsibility, with particular attention to its impact on the business/society relationship, in general, and healthy organizational environments, more specifically. The chapter focuses on one of the most pervasive programs for employee health to date: employee assistance programs (EAPs). It also examines some of the more common practices of EAPs, their impact on employee health, and offer possible directions for future research and practice. Exploring these opportunities and challenges offer a more realistic and, hopefully, constructive assessment of the current and future state of employee health, in light of the growth of CSR programs. More specifically, under the principles of CSR and employee health, corporations are no longer merely a site for work but also a site for the surveillance of workers' bodies.
