A brief description of the employee wellness program, policy, or practice:

Employee Assistance
Bard College offers an Employee Assistance Program through Guidance Resources. This program, which is free to all employees and their families, provides confidential assistance to help address the personal issues they or their family is facings. This service, staffed by experienced clinicians, is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Services include, but are not limited to, relationships, problems with children, substance abuse, stress or depression, job pressures, marital conflicts, grief or loss or legal/financial situations.

Wellness Programs
The Human Resources Director has also participated in a regional task form to establish a wellness program for the college. The task form participated in interviews and analysis of various programs within the Hudson Valley region. The programs included health incentives for lower premiums, employee education in self health routines (i.e. annual mammograms, blood pressure testing, etc.) and one-on-one contact with insurance provider professionals, which allow private and confidential care on an individual basis.
