MMC Benefits Handbook
Complete Confidentiality
One of the most important reasons for using a third-party firm for this program is to ensure absolute objectivity. All calls and referrals are completely confidential. The Company receives only a periodic statistical breakdown of program usage.
When you voluntarily contact the Employee Assistance Program, the Company has no way of learning of your call or any details of your case. Likewise, you will not be notified if a member of your family or household initiates a call to the Employee Assistance Program.
The Employee Assistance Program is entirely voluntary. No "treatment" is imposed on you. You always make the decision whether or not to seek professional help referred to you, even in cases where a Company manager has referred you to the program. The content of the assessment and the nature of the recommendation are always confidential.
