Daniel Feerst owns WorkExcel.com and is President of DFA Publishing & Consulting, LLC and located near Charleston, South Carolina.

Formerly, WorkExcel.com was called EAPtools.com until we broadened the scope of our products to better serve human resource managers and other allied workforce management professionals who are concerned about employee behavioral issues in the workplace, reducing related risk, and improving supervisor skills.

We started operations in 1994 with the publication of the FrontLine Supervisor newsletter. It is still one of our most popular products. The newsletter is an editable, reproducible, and e-mail ready publication. Originally intended to educate managers, supervisors, and team leaders in how to use the organization's employee assistance program (EAP) as a resource to help employees improve job performance, it also offers skills education to help supervisors become better managers of themselves and those they supervise. We have written over 1200 questions and answers on the supervisor's role to date.

We offer publications, training products, free informational tools, ideas, and tips to support employers, and those who serve employers with the mission of helping employees remain healthy, happy, and productive. Our goal is to help employers reduce behavioral risk exposure and the loss of productivity that flow from employee behaviors influenced by behavioral health conditions, stress, addictive disease and substance abuse, conflict at work, personal troubles, inappropriate and risky behavior, and reactions to events like violence, trauma, and loss.

WorkExcel.com's products and services provide you with the ability to help more employees, clients, or patients. In many cases, our products allow you to more easily reach their family members and significant others as well.

One of the unique aspects of many WorkExcel.com products is our ability to edit or brand materials so that it works seamlessly with your organization's website or educational program.  Many of our products are offered in several media formats. We know that many of you are experts in your fields and have preferences for specific topics, content, and use specific terms for health conditions, etc.. Not all companies are the same and work cultures can differ, also. We recognize modifications to training materials may be desired, and this capability must be part of the product you purchase. We give you this control over most products, either at your end after purchase, or by helping you prior to purchase with customization, adding your logo, taking our name off the product, etc.
