Employee Assistance Program

EAP-banner.png

Caterpillar recognizes the importance of maintaining good health. We also recognize the importance of resolving life’s challenges early, before they potentially have a negative impact on our lives at home and work. 

Most of us have the support of our family, friends, neighbors or religious leaders. But speaking to a trained helping professional about a private concern is very common today. However, often when help is needed, it can be costly and difficult to locate.

The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a free, voluntary and completely confidential service provided to employees and their eligible family members to help meet many challenges at home and work.
