The new name broadens our message. That's the only change, besides improved Web technology to help meet your needs more effectively.

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.

employers reduce behavioral risk exposures and loss of productivity that flow

addictive disease and substance abuse, conflict at work, personal troubles,
inappropriate and risky behavior, and reactions to events like violence, trauma,

HandOutsplus.com's products and services provide you with the
ability to help more employess, clients, or patients. In many cases, our

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.
You can reach us at 1-800-626-4327 And don't forget to sign up for
