Employee Assistance Programs

Not all performance issues are drug related.  There are many different factors that can affect an employee's work performance, a death in the family, financial or legal concerns, or personal relationship problems.  I feel that it's important for companies to provide some sort of assistance to their employees.  There is a huge benifit in taking care of the employees that you have instead of viewing them as expendable.  Companies who take care of their employees well being enjoy reduced turnover and absenteeism, and higher morale and productivity.

Costco put this idea of treating employees better, and it's paid off for them.  Read more about the "Costco Effect" at http://abcnews.go.com/2020/Business/story?id=1362779 

It gives you something to think about. To get your own Employee Assistance Program check out this link and tell them Kurve sent you.
