Organizational Structure

The New York State Employee Assistance Program is a labor/management committee operating in conjunction with the Governor's Office of Employee Relations. It is designed to strengthen the working relationship between management and unions in New York State. An advisory board, comprised of five union and five management representatives, meets regularly in Albany to set program policy.

The Program Manager, selected by the Labor/Management Advisory Board, is responsible for program administration, including staffing, policy implementation, and ongoing program improvement. The Program Manager, Assistant Program Manager, Central Region EAP representatives, and support staff are located at the main office of the New York State EAP, which is located at Empire State Plaza in Albany.

Nine regional representatives report to the Program Manager. The eight regional offices are located in Albany, Buffalo, Hauppauge, Manhattan, Newburgh, Syracuse, and Watertown.

Local EAP programs function across the state in almost every agency, offering services to more than 180,000 state employees and their families. These local programs receive guidance, support, and training from the regional field offices and the New York State EAP.
