The lead article in the first quarter 2018 JEA is on Duty of Care (DOC) as an opportunity for EAPs. Authors Ken Burgess and Nancy Board define DOC and discuss suggestions for EAPs interested in implementing these services.
Elsewhere in this issue, Timothy Mutrie of ACI Specialty Benefits describes some of the leading benefits trends that EA professionals should be aware of. And Sally Spencer-Thomas explains the importance of a zero-suicide mindset. “Is Your EAP Endangered or Enduring?” asks Don Jorgensen in a thought-provoking feature article. Finally, Jim Wrich, one of the original “Thundering 100,” describes important developments and milestones in EAP history. Members only can log in and read the issue here.

In the days and weeks that followed Hurricanes Irma, Maria, and Harvey, Americans across the nation sat transfixed, waiting for news updates from the impacted communities. Within the affected communities, civic employees became modern-day heroes as they worked tirelessly to coordinate relief efforts, communicate safety information, and help citizens begin the long, arduous process of recovery. They committed themselves, nearly 24/7 to rebuilding the communities they loved. As they cared for their citizens, their human resource teams cared for them.
Human resource managers serving local governments must prepare for the unpredictable and ensure they have a plan in place to care for employees before, during and after a natural disaster.

My research shows that nurses are particularly vulnerable to cyberbullying by patients and their relatives, which can cross the boundary between the workplace and home. This highlights the need for employers to take cyberbullying seriously and to take active steps to protect employees from it.

We all know that stress is a part of life. But apparently, a growing number of Americans are experiencing their fair share of it as a result of their jobs. In a 2017 survey by the American Psychological Association, 61 percent of respondents said they're stressed on the job, making work the third most common source of stress overall. Furthermore, 37 percent of workers reported that they experience chronic work stress — meaning, it's there all the time, and not just as a result of specific projects or deadlines.
If you're suffering from job-related stress, you should know that there are ways to address the problem. And the sooner you do, the better.

Workplace wellness programs have two main goals: improve employees' health and lower their employers' healthcare costs. They're not very good at either, new research finds.
For the study, 3,300 employees of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign were given a year of access to iThrive, a workplace wellness program similar to what many companies offer workers. A control group of 1,534 didn't get access to it.

However, the food industry is not the only one with a problem, nor is it isolated to Europe or the Americas. In South Africa, there are many industries that are synonymous with frequent and regular use of mood and mind-altering substances, such as drugs and alcohol.

Victims of sexual harassment already face several obstacles when they come forward. Their harassers could retaliate. They could be ostracized by their colleagues. They could lose their job. They could be called liars.
But alongside the economic and social tolls sexual harassment can exact, there's an invisible psychological one as well.
Few people know how to recognize the mental health issues that happen after harassment, says University of Oregon psychology professor Jennifer Freyd.
