What is an Employee Assistance Center?
We understand that there is a lot more involved in your relationship with the company than just what takes place at work. Personal problems, such as the death of a loved one, emotional upheaval, alcoholism, marital pressure, family conflict or financial stress may affect our health and performance at work. We want to make it easy, convenient and affordable for you or your immediate family to seek professional help when struggling with any of life’s challenges.
How do I access the Employee Assistance Center?
User Name: KCSE
Or, call 1-800-227-0905
What does it cost?
Initial appointments at the EAC are available free of charge and they are 100% confidential.
