ABSTRACT
Over the past few years, employee assistance program (EAP) and work-life researchers, program evaluators, and practitioners have published a number of articles and studies focusing on the integration of EAP and work-life programs, as well as EAP and wellness/health promotion programs (Herlihy, Attridge, Turner, 2002; Mulvihill, 2003; Erfurt, Foote, Heirich, 1992; Herlihy, 2002; Derr, Lindsay, 1999). Looking at the broader scope of occupational health (OH) programs that includes on-site health clinics, and environmental health as well as EAP, work-life, and wellness/fitness programs, provides an opportunity to analyze other models of integration. This article focuses on such a model in the federal sector, and reviews several aspects of integration at various levels of this public health organization.
