Profit Enhancement Plan

Introducing a proven plan to generate higher profits.

• At companies where this program was implemented, employees became highly motivated to contribute to the success of their employer.
• Negativity, costly turnover, absenteeism, long breaks, and passive foot dragging were eliminated.
• As employees and supervisors learned better ways of communicating, profits improved.
• Documentation of success is available for your kind inspection.

1. The Relationship Between The C.E.O. And The Consultant.
   The first step is a meeting between the company's Chief Executive Officer and the Consultant, the President of The Counseling Advantage, Mr. Lynn T. Austrheim. At this meeting, the consultant will inquire about the company's goals, and determine if there are specific areas of concern. After understanding the company's needs, the consultant will propose a plan that will best serve the C.E.O.. The consultant will seek the C.E.O.'s support and umbrella of protection, as new concepts are introduced to the company. Ongoing cooperation with the C.E.O. is assumed for successful plan implementation.
2. Top-Down Managerial Training
   After the plan is accepted, the C.E.O., with the consultant assisting, will teach and model the training for the next level of management. After these managers learn the new principles, they will teach the next lower level, and so on. This process of having managers teach their people continues throughout the company, until a new positive managerial cultural change has been achieved. By teaching others, each manager learns the new methods at a deeper level than if they had just received classroom training.
3. The Hot Line
   The new managerial methods are clearly designed to improve communications throughout the company, in order to increase profits on a long-term basis. However, there may be times when managers or employees have a bright idea, or a grievance, that they do not feel able to express through regular channels. The hot line, via the consultant's phone service, works as a safety valve so that employee issues may be shared in confidence.
4. The Employee Assistance Function
   The Employee Assistance Counseling Program is designed for employees who are experiencing unresolved work or personal issues, affecting their productivity. These problems may include stress, mental illness, relationship difficulties, grief, substance abuse, and other issues.
   Note:
   All communications with the employee are confidential and will not be shared with management, unless the employee gives written permission. The only exception to the confidentiality rule is where the counselor is legally required to report child, elder abuse, or intended violence.
5. Ongoing Surveys
   Surveys of managers and employees give an indication of the growth in overall wellness of the organization. Wherever negative components in a survey are addressed and corrected, employees are motivated to continue to have open, honest communications.
6. Summary
   This comprehensive Plan of Corporate Profit Enhancement is based on the proven premise that when managers and employees are provided with an improved and enlightened managerial climate, attitudes change for the better, and profit enhancement increases.
7. Fee Structure
   The company should expect that the consultant's fee would be a very small part of the expected increase in profits. Actual fees will be negotiated.
