Well put. The EAP is an extremely valuable asset in dealing with these types of employees but employers need to know that they have an EAP and all of the things it does. Thanks Scott. Well put.

Having worked 25+ years in the EAP profession I can attest to this problem within organizations as well as the effectiveness of the use of an EAP to find the proper resource and conduct follow-up. One of the core tenants of EAP is developing a referral network. A good EAP has already done the work of researching appropriate resources in many areas of human behavior, saving an organization much time and expense. In addition, it is best if an organization has a progressive discipline plan in place. Some individuals will "relapse" and return to differing degrees of their old behavior and they must know that bullying, etc. will not be tolerated. Spending time up front educating all employees as to what is not acceptable and how to appropriately respond to this kind of behavior in the workplace will also help to lessen the problem.
