... you undoubtedly have customers that will suffer, or at least witness, tragic accidents. How can you help them deal with this trauma? If it's you, a family member, or an employee who have experienced a dire event, how can you surmount the stressful reaction and resume a productive, happy life? TYPICAL RESPONSE TO STRESS People who witness a tragic accident have a wide variety of reactions. About 10 years ago, I saw one-and fell victim to the attitude that I did not need help. The following 90 days were a blur of mixed emotions. I had periodic flashbacks, wild emotional swings, nightmare-interrupted sleep, decreased productivity, anger, and depression. Now I'm keenly aware of the importance of critical-incident stress counseling and strongly recommend that anyone witnessing such an event contact a trained counselor as soon as possible after an incident (24 to 72 hours) . If the person experienced the trauma without actually witnessing it, there may be feelings of guilt and responsibility that also need to be dealt with. In Critical Incident Stress Debriefing, Mitchell and Everly write, Critical-incident stress debriefing accelerates the rate of normal recovery in normal people who are having normal reactions to abnormal events. If the event has happened to you or a co-worker, realize that it may have a ripple effect that will touch all your employees. Many companies have brought in a stress counselor to speak to their employees about the incident and some of the residual effects to expect. This counseling brings a great deal of comfort to the company and facilitates an internal support system that will see people through the crisis. You ...

... you will be repeatedly taken advantage of in the future. In conclusion, life is too short, and no business is important enough to consume personal emotions. Business (even your own) is only a way of making a living to support the really important things in your life, health, and family. Emotions should be reserved for those critical issues in life. Business may be troublesome at times but should be generally a pleasant and satisfying way of earning a living, whether you are an agency owner, producer, or service employee. The only exception we have seen in this process is when a person's personal life is in such disarray that they carry their emotional distress into their workplace. This is extremely disruptive to both the personal and business life and should be treated by a qualified counselor. If the problem is an owner, someone must alert him to that fact and suggest outside counseling. If the problem is with an employee, the owner must make the suggestion but must also guard against becoming that counselor. An insurance agency owner is rarely qualified to provide personal counseling and opens himself to serious liability issues if he becomes personally involved in employees' outside problems. If the recommendation is not heeded and the disruptions continue to affect the employees' business life, termination must be considered. E.

... by CompleteMarkets Editor This content has not been rated yet. PRINTING COMPANY IMPLEMENTS A LOW-COST EAP WORKING PARTNERS Rapid Bind, a trade binder in Portland, Oregon that deals only with printers, is described by its owner John Goche as a sliver of the printing business. During the company's 13-year history, its work force has grown to 35 employees. Late in 1985, Goche realized that severe drug problems had developed among his 21 employees. Several were suspected of using drugs on the job and during breaks. After the daily shifts, evidence of drug use could be found near the company parking area. The younger employees, new to the world of work, were drawn to this group, for whom the peer-pressure message was use' rather than don't use. Goche's efforts to find help led him to a counselor who agreed to talk to the crew. Thereafter, peer pressure started to work in reverse. But, the problem persisted. The need for intervention became fully apparent in July 1989 when a six-year term employee who was 25, married, and had a nine-month-old child committed suicide. The other employees were emotionally drained and simply could not produce a product. Again, a counselor was brought in to talk with employees, collectively and individually. With this help, It was amazing how quickly we healed, ' said Goche. Late in 1989, drug testing and employee assistance programs (EAPs) were subjects discussed at trade meetings Goche attended. Goche obtained further information from the Oregon Small Business Council and drafted his own statement. At a meeting sponsored by the Pacific Printing Industries (PPI) ...

... . Unhappily, the word plan' doesn't communicate to the reader the idea of an insurance policy- yet that's what we have to sell, and what a genuine prospect has interest in. A plan is a program made out in advance to accomplish something; it might include a policy, but it's not the same thing. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) understands this, and states that we must call an insurance plan a plan, and a policy a policy. Which leads to our reluctance to use the word insurance. Wrongly, we follow the lead of the insurance salesman. He avoids the word insurance' because the public perceives insurance salespeople as people trying to sell them something they don't want to buy. Thus the insurance salesperson' has evolved to a sort of financial counselor, spending the day designing programs, ' creating estates, ' and developing plans. That doesn't work for us. We must be direct. We must communicate immediately that we're offering the benefits of insurance. Never mind that we're scaring away the great majority of people who have no interest in insurance; we want to make sure only that the very small number of people truly interested in insurance can find insurance' instantly when reading through our mailing. I have a four-page insurance folder from a fine insurance company that sells its policies by mail. The first mention of the word insurance' is on the bottom half of page four. True, the word coverage' is used on pages 2 and 3, but coverage' automatically means insurance' only to people in the insurance industry-not the general ...
