few of HPN's Current Client Organizations:
Bellingham Cold Storage Company
Bellingham, Washington - Karen
Hollingsworth, BCS Ed and Training Coordinator
Bellingham Cold Storage Co. has had a
contract with the Employee Assistance Program since April 1, 1992. We have been extremely satisfied with the helpfulness and
responsiveness from all of the counselors on staff. The BCS plant is a unionized organization and non-unionized
for administrative personnel. We
have found that EAP is able to help counsel the Human Resources
Department along with our employees on work-related problems at
onset of issues, before they may become more serious and difficult.
We are able to share potential problems in the strictest confidence
and receive help and ideas on individual situations.
BCS relies on EAP. for employee training. Last winter they
provided extensive training on use of “Probable Cause"
urinary analysis. Health
Promotion Northwest has helped us attain a drug-free work environment. BCS will invite EAP to return this spring, 1999 for plant-wide
classes on the EAP program and what EAP has to offer, as a refresher
course. BCS has
witnessed first hand the EAP crisis intervention help and
counseling. They were here to assist our night shift crew
immediately for a very demanding situation. Our employees were
grateful for their help and were able to work through their
workplace strife. The
EAP staff and service is caring, timely, efficient, businesslike and
professional.
SOCCO Forest Products
Sumas, Washington - Mark Hadley,
Plant Manager
I am writing this letter of recommendation
outlining the benefits SOCCO Forest Products has received since
participating in your Employee Assistance Program and implementation
of Drug Free Workplace policies:
1) Reduced employee turnover.
2) Fewer on and off the job injuries.
3) Better workplace moral.
4) Improved production levels and quality.
I have found the counseling services provided by HPN to be
well managed and professional, with positive results for nearly all
individuals referred. The
plant site training seminars have been well received by both my
supervisory staff and production personnel. Overall, I am very
pleased with the programs success and the positive input it has had
for our company.
Ocean Kayak, Inc.
Ferndale, Washington - Janet Kloos,
HR Manager
Health Promotion Northwest has been the
Employee Assistance Program for Ocean Kayak for several years. I
have had extensive contact with them in my current position as well
as in past positions with other companies. HPN has always been a
reliable resource for virtually any employee issue.
I have utilized them for supervisory training in a variety of
areas such as drug-free workplace, sexual harassment, and
communication skills. They have also been extremely helpful in
processing tough termination’s and in crisis debriefing. I find
their staff to be knowledgeable, professional, and caring. My
employee referrals have overwhelmingly resulted in positive outcomes
for both the employee and the company. I highly recommend
Health Promotion Northwest to any company considering an employee
assistance program.
The Opportunity Council
Whatcom, Skagit & Island
Counties - Charlene Schaumberg, SPHR, HR Manager
As a human
resources manager I am familiar with the personal and professional
challenges staff members face on a daily basis.
Unfortunately, I also see how some of these challenges affect
their performance at work. Some
situations are more challenging than others, but the ability to
provide staff with a reliable, confidential counseling service not
only makes my job much easier, but allows me to be proactive by
offering a tool to employees that I know will benefit them.
I recommend the staff of professionals at Health Promotion
Northwest whenever appropriate because I have confidence in their
ability to provide our employees with assistance which will enable
them to deal more effectively with whatever challenge they are
facing.
