SUBJECT: Federal Employee Assistance Program Guidelines
TO:
Drug-Free Workplace Primary Liaisons: Tiers I, II
and III
Members, IAG Committee on Employee Health and Assistance
Employee Assistance Program Administrators
We are pleased to provide you with a copy of the draft Guidelines
for the Development and Assessment of a Comprehensive Federal
Employee Assistance Program. These guidelines were developed by the
National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) with assistance from the
Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and an Expert Advisory
Committee to NIDA whose members. were selected for their expertise in
the employee assistance, drug abuse and associated fields.
NIDA and OPM feel that effective Employee Assistance Programs
(EAPs) can contribute significantly to the establishment of a drug-
free Federal workplace and serve to help employees overcome
numerous types of problems that affect job performance and
productivity. The attached guidelines were developed to help
agencies establish, modify or improve EAPs and ensure that these
programs are addressing needs in the Federal workplace.
The guidelines provide a general framework for designing,
implementing, operating and evaluating the effectiveness of an EAP.
In addition, a monitoring instrument is included in the guidelines
which can be used as a checklist for ensuring that all necessary
components have been incorporated into the EAP and that it is
responsive to workforce needs. The guidelines are meant to be used
in conjunction with program guidance contained in OPM regulations
and Federal Personnel Manual (FPM) Chapter 792 (Federal Employees'
Health and Counseling Programs); especially FPM Letter 792-16
"Establishing a Drug-Free Federal Workplace," which contains a
"model" EAP.

One important aspect of the guidelines is the emphasis they place
on establishing strong linkages between the EAP and other related
programs within the organization. The strength and utilization of
the EAP is determined, in large measure, by the degree to which
important organizational perspectives are addressed during the
design, implementation and assessment of the program.
Executive Order 12564, Drug-Free Federal Workplace, identifies EAPs
as an essential element of an agency's plan to achieve a drug-free
workforce, and states that agencies shall refer all employees found
to use illegal drugs to Employee Assistance Programs for counseling,
treatment or rehabilitation as appropriate. NIDA and OPM feel it is
important to issue the draft guidelines at this time to enhance the
readiness of the government to respond to Executive Order 12564.
We intend to revise the guidelines based on agency experience in
applying them to specific circumstances. To assist us in revising
the guidelines to better address the needs and requirements of
Federal programs, please provide comments to either:

in support of your agency's efforts to improve the effectiveness and
services to employees seeking assistance through Employee Assistance
Programs.
