►This simple, powerful supervisor newsletter tool helps eliminate a major risk exposure for work organizations—loss of supervisor referrals to employee assistance programs. We are in our 15th year of publishing it, and for a good reason. It's a critical component to a successful EAP.
►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 required a supervisor referral for performance issues. Of course, they also help self-referring employees. BUT...
►...Unfortunately, this story has changed in the worst way. It's been reversed by uninformed helping professionals, and many managed care providers and benefits/HR consultants who have sold and promoted EAPs in the literature (and media) as "benefit programs" designed to contain insurance dollars.
►Today, many EAPs get only self-referring employees. Formal management referrals to EAPs have dwindled. And, this has fueled the "farming out" of such programs to 800# hotlines. This is a big problem for the field and employers. FrontLine Supervisor is designed to increase supervisor referrals to EAPs, save EAPs from closure, and reduce behavioral risk exposure to employers by increasing supervisor referrals.
►EAPs save money, but if you don't train supervisors--forget it. Your risk will increase and your property casualty and employment practices liability (EPL) losses will too. Troubled employees—the most risky with performance problems—will remain on your payroll languishing until they blow! They aren't getting help like the once did. And it's this diminished benefits model--the one your company may be using that's done it.
►If you have a barely promoted 800# on the back of your insurance card with no ongoing supervisor training or contact with a real person who knows your company and meets with supervisors, you probably have ticking time-bombs on your payroll. Now you get a solid piece of help--FrontLine Supervisor.
►Most supervisors know nothing about a powerful tool at their disposal--the classic "formal supervisor referral" to the EAP. Without this understanding, business risk increases, even as you save money on mental health benefits. You can't survive with only half of your body protected by a fox hole.
►As employee assistance programs have grown in number, many don't work to help the most troubled employees with substance abuse problems or other behavioral health conditions. FrontLine Supervisor solves this problem with how-to advice and education for supervisors.
►FrontLine Supervisor newsletter educates supervisors about managing troubled employees; 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 among employees.
