employee assistance and worklife services

Employee Assistance and WorkLife Services is an internal consulting service that can help you resolve a broad range of concerns or problems, from everyday issues to more complicated personal, family or work-related concerns. Services, resources or advice received through EAP-WL is not medical advice or a substitute for seeking treatment and guidance from a health care provider.

This service is available to all Chevron employees, their dependents and Chevron retirees.

We all experience everyday issues that we can usually work out on our own, but sometimes we need help. Even if you’re not sure what the problem may be, an advisor can guide you through discussion to identify the issue and then develop a plan to resolve it. Among the topics that advisors are trained to help with include:

• Family and relationship problems 
• Personal and emotional issues 
• Major changes in your life 
• Difficulties at work 
• Concerns about alcohol or drug use 
• Clarifying career plans 
• Managing stress and anxiety 
• Preparing for international assignment
• Help after a traumatic event 

Contact and discussions with an advisor is confidential and is not recorded in an employee’s personnel file. In general, confidentiality is protected by Chevron policy, state and federal law, and the professional ethics of the advisor. There are a few extremely serious circumstances where advisors are legally required to make certain disclosure, such as threats or harm to oneself or others, or concerns about child abuse or elder abuse.

There is no charge for you or your dependents to utilize Employee Assistance and WorkLife Services. If you need ongoing assistance, an EAP advisor can help identify and refer you to resources in your community. If applicable, you’re responsible for any costs related to services provided through community-based or other referral sources.
