Dear Colleagues:
We are pleased to announce that the University has contracted with a new Employee Assistance Program (EAP), The Lexington Group, effective October 9th, 2023.
Over the last few years, Human Resources and University leaders have received feedback on the unique needs of UConn employees and what that demands from an Employee Assistance Program. We believe that The Lexington Group will meet our employees’ needs, as they acutely understand that, on occasion, people encounter personal problems that are difficult to handle alone. While the University respects the private lives of our employees and their families, this service is offered to help identify and resolve personal concerns.
The Lexington Group will provide confidential face-to-face counseling, or in certain circumstances video counseling, to assist employees in identifying and resolving personal problems no matter how unique and diverse they appear. Examples include family and marital conflicts, stress, substance abuse, depression, and other emotional issues. The Lexington Group also assists with referrals for eldercare support, child care, as well as legal and financial guidance through our Life Care program.
Employees or their household family members may contact the EAP directly at any time. No matter the situation, assistance sought through the EAP will be held in the strictest confidence. Using the EAP services will not jeopardize an employee’s job security, future promotional opportunities, or reputation.
Employees may call The Lexington Group for immediate and confidential assistance at 1-800-676-HELP (4357). The Lexington Group is available seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day.
Employees may also request clinical services or read more about the program online at: www.The-Lexington-Group.com (use UConnE as the unique employee password).
The Lexington Group will be on-site at the Work/Life Expo on Thursday, October 12th (10 a.m. – 2 p.m. in the Student Union Ballroom, Storrs Campus), and more information will follow in the Daily Digest about employee/supervisor orientation sessions.
We hope you will share our enthusiasm for The Lexington Group, Employee Assistance Program, and the opportunity it presents to help you and your family.
Sincerely,
Radenka Maric
