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.

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.
