The shift to remote work has introduced unique challenges for IT workers, including isolation, stress, and difficulties in maintaining work-life balance. The effectiveness of Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) in addressing these challenges in a remote work setting is not well understood. There is a need to assess how EAPs affect the well-being and work-life balance of remote IT workers.
It is difficult to answer this question in yes or No, as each policies has multifaced impact on employees, directly and indirectly. Also their is very unlikely that companies in IT sectors have same Employee Assistance Programs. However Studies suggested that their is direct positive relationship between good EAP and work-life balance.
For more depth information i could suggest a chapter "Work-Life Balance Policies and Programs" (In book: Organizational Strategies for Work-Life Balance) by M. Joseph Sirgy (2024).

Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) can significantly enhance the well-being and work-life balance of remote IT workers by providing access to mental health resources, counseling, and support services. These programs help employees manage stress, maintain boundaries between work and personal life, and improve overall job satisfaction.
