Employee Assistance Programs

Bossier Parish Community College has an Employee Assistance Program through ESI, a third party vendor.

The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is available to employees and their immediate family members who reside in the same household, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week through a toll-free telephone number. This is a voluntary program at no cost to the employee. It is not intended to replace behavioral health insurance and does not provide treatment services.
EAP Policy

The Employee Assistance Program strives to set the standard for excellence by offering employee assistance and human resource services, to help BPCC and its employees achieve peak workplace performance and productivity, including:

  • Counseling and Work Life Services: Addresses the personal and professional stressors of employees and their family, in order to strengthen overall workplace performance and increase workplace productivity.
  • Training: Provides resources to both employees and supervisors in order to improve and increase workplace productivity.
  • Wellness: Nurtures the well being of employees to increase health, workplace performance and morale.

Each month you will receive an email at work from Higher Ed EAP, clientservice@theeap.com. This email is safe to open and provides a newsletter of current information. You can visit the EAP web site.
