What is a supervisory referral?
A. Sometimes employees are told to speak with someone at EAP because they are having problems on the worksite. Employees that are mandated to EAP by their supervisors will have an appointment scheduled with an EAP counselor. At the first meeting, information will be gathered to gain an understanding of the problems leading to the supervisory referral. Employees will be asked to sign a release of information that allows the EAP to notify the supervisor that you have followed through on the referral and that you are compliant with the EAP recommendations. No further information will be shared by EAP staff without a release of information signed by the employee.
