Employee Assistance Program Renewed
<br />The Metropolitan Waste Control Commission has
<br />renewed its contract with Family Service of Greater St.
<br />Paul. This program provides a wide range of services to
<br />our employees including educational and support groups,
<br />chemical dependency counseling and assessment, life
<br />transitions, self development, parenting, financial plan-
<br />ning; virtually any problem which disrupts the family/or
<br />individual and could affect job performance.
<br />The Employee Assistance Program covers employee and
<br />family members. It is a program that is governed by the
<br />Data Privacy Act which insures strict confidentiality.
<br />This confidentiality is provided at several levels. All
<br />voluntary referrals to the Employee Assistance Program
<br />are confidential and no one at the MWCC has access to
<br />names —only statistical totals.
<br />Supervisors who refer an employee to the Employee
<br />International Visitor
<br />Wolfgang Radlegger, a member of th- Salzberg Pro-
<br />vincial Government, met with Commission staff to discuss
<br />wastewater treatment and financial concerns. The
<br />meeting on June 216th was very informative for all who
<br />attended the meeting. MWCC staff learned how problems
<br />in wastewater treatment, similar to the ones faced by the
<br />MWCC, are addressed in Austria.
<br />L-R: James Austin, State Department Escort —Interpreter; WoNsant;
<br />Radkger; Steven Sielaff, Accoununt-Comptroller's office; Lou /reim-
<br />hunt, Deputy Chief Administrator.
<br />Assistance Program will not discuss this referral with any-
<br />one other than Family Service Counselors, nor will notes
<br />on the referral be put in a personnel file.
<br />If an employee voluntarily seeks help from the Family -
<br />Service for a personal problem and a Supervisor's assist-
<br />ance is required in any way, then the employee must sign
<br />a release of information form before Family Service can
<br />relay any information to that supervisor.
<br />No information can be released by Family Service with-
<br />out the employee specifically authorizing it in writing.
<br />Janet Fisher is MWCC's primary contact at Family
<br />Service with Kathy Bergman also available. Both can be
<br />reached at 222-0311. If you have any questions, don't hesi-
<br />tate to call them or contact Bruce Miller, at the Central
<br />Office, 222-8423.
