WorkExcel.com is
owned by DFA Publishing & Consulting, LLC. We are located near
Charleston, South Carolina. We offer products to
reach workplace professionals concerned about employee behavioral
issues in the workplace, reducing associated risk, and improving
supervisor skills.
We started operations in 1994 with the publication of the FrontLine
Supervisor newsletter. It is still one of our most popular products. It
is an editable, reproducible, and e-mailable publication that educates
managers, supervisors, and team leaders in how to use the
organization's employee assistance program as a resource to help
employees improve job performance. It also offers skills education to
help supervisors become better managers of themselves and those they
supervise. We have written over 780 questions and answers on the
supervisor's role to date.
We offer publications, training products, free informational tools, ideas, and tips to support employers, and those who serve employers
with the mission of helping employees remain happy, healthy, and
productive. Our goal is to also help employers reduce behavioral risk
exposures and loss of productivity that flow from employee behaviors
influenced by behavioral health conditions, stress, addictive disease
and substance abuse, conflict at work, personal troubles, inappropriate
and risky behavior, and reactions to events like violence, trauma, and
loss.
Our customers include:
- human resource professionals, trainers, and benefits consultants
- employee assistance professionals
- substance abuse counselors
- wellness and occupational health professionals
- insurance agents and those who strive to help employers reduce risk
- family medical practice professionals
- safety professionals
- mental health professionals in public or private practice
- organizational development professionals
- small business owners or their office/business managers
WorkExcel.com's products and services provide you with the ability
to help more employess, clients, or patients. In many cases, our
products allow you to reach their family members and significant others
as well.
One of the unique aspects of many WorkExcel.com products is the
ability to edit or brand material so it works seamlessly with your
organization's Web site or educational program. Many of our products
are offered in several media formats. We know that many of you are
experts in your fields, with preferences for specific topics, content,
and specific terms for health conditions, etc.. Not all companies are
the same and work cultures differ, too. So, modifications must be made
to training materials, and this feature must be part of the product you
purchase. We give you this control over most products, either at your
end after purchase or prior to purchase, by helping you with
customization, adding your logo, taking our name off the product, etc.
