Employee Assistance Programmes are
explained and their potential in meeting the
concerns of female employees is described in
the framework of the issues confronting
working women in the US. Employee
Assistance Programmes and women in the
workforce are both relatively recent
occurrences. Women began entering the
workforce en masse at the turn of the
century. Employee Assistance Programmes
began in the United States in the early 1940s,
but have only developed and been adopted in
the 1970s and 1980s. The ways in which they
offer a special source of support and help to
women in the workforce are explored.
Although some of the content may not be
relevant to women in Great Britain, in the
authors′ opinions the readers will probably
see more similarities than differences since a
woman′s role is, for the most part, universal.
