DHS Team Members

As events stabilize, agency-specific guidance is no longer necessary. DHS employees now follow the guidance from the Department of Administrative Services [19], with the exception of DHS facility employees who continue to follow Easing Facility Restrictions [20] guidance.

Emotional Support for DHS Team Members

DHS supervisors have been encouraged to proactively share information on the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) with their team members. EAP offers confidential resources to help state employees and eligible family members address challenges that may impact job performance, affect well-being, and take a toll on overall health. EAP services are provided at no cost to employees and eligible family members. Staff can contact the EAP provider at 800-833-3031 or www.eaphelplink.com [21].
