Increase Supervisor Referrals Practically Overnight with the Newsletter that Cracked the Code on Getting Unshakable Top Management Support for Any EAP! . . . Since 1994.

Our 17th Year -- #1 On Google for "Supervisor Newsletter"

FrontLine Supervisor
Newsletter for EAPs

►Unconditionally guaranteed to increase supervisors referrals to the EAP. This is a simple, powerful tool for EAPs. It helps supervisors understand how to use the EAP and helps reduce risk by increasing the likelihood that troubled employees will be referred to the EAP. Every EAP should have it, hands down. It has been called the "missing link" to an effective EAP. We are in our 15th year of publishing it, and for one good reason--it works.

►If you know anything about Employee Assistance Programs, you know they were inspired primarily as a way to help troubled employees, especially those with alcohol problems who would only go to the EAP by way of a supervisor referral because of performance problems. BUT...

►Unfortunately, over the past 15 years, many uninformed helping professionals, managed care providers, and benefits consultants have promoted EAPs as an employee "benefit". EAPs are were never meant to be "benefit" programs in the typical sense, but this promotion has taken the focus off of their powerful and original role as productivity tools both to salvage workers and protect organizations.

►As a result, increased risk has returned to organizations from fewer and fewer supervisor referrals of troubled employees. Little training of supervisors may take place, and FrontLine Supervisor is filling the gap in thousands of companies nationwide.

►FrontLine Supervisor increases supervisor referrals to EAPs, helps save EAPs from closure, and reduces behavioral risk exposures to employers by increasing supervisor referrals of the most troubled employees.

►Most supervisors know nothing about how EAPs can be powerful tools to reduce their stress by way of the classic "formal supervisor referral" to the EAP and how to make use of it. Without this understanding, business risks increase, even as you save money on mental health benefits.

►FrontLine Supervisor newsletter educates, trains, and helps supervisors in dealing with troubled employees. It explains how to use the organization's employee assistance program (EAP) as a positive tool in the supervision relationship, how to improve employee productivity and morale, and how to boost team-oriented thinking.

►With over 800 Q & A articles on the supervisor's role in managing employees, FrontLine Supervisor is possibly America's most widely read monthly publication with thousands of supervisors reading it monthly.
