Our Company

About WorkExcel.com

WorkExcel.com, owned by DFA Publishing and Consulting, LLC was founded in 1994 and originally operated under the name EAPtools.com. As our mission expanded, we broadened our offerings to better serve human resource managers and allied workforce professionals in safety, health, benefits, and management. Our goal has always been to address employee behavioral risk, enhance productivity, protect the bottom line, and develop strong leadership.

Our flagship product, the FrontLine Supervisor EAP Newsletter, launched in 1993 remains one of our most in-demand resources. With over 240 products now in our catalog, FrontLine Supervisor continues to be a top performer, delivering a guaranteed 20% annual increase in formal supervisor EAP referrals noticeable within four issues or your money back.

Published monthly, it is singularly focused on equipping supervisors to manage employee issues effectively and leverage the EAP as a tool to support both employee well-being and organizational goals.

In addition to newsletters, WorkExcel.com provides a wide array of publications, training products, informational tools, and free resources—each designed to help employers and employees maintain a healthy, happy, and productive workforce.

WorkExcel.com's overarching mission is to help employers reduce behavioral risk exposures and the productivity losses that stem from issues such as mental health conditions, stress, substance use disorders, workplace conflict, inappropriate conduct, and responses to crises such as trauma or loss.

WorkExcel.com’s customizable products and services empower you to reach more employees, clients, and even their family members and significant others who often affect worker productivity. 

A unique strength of our offerings is the ability for you to edit and brand materials to match your organization’s identity—a process known as “white labeling.” You have the freedom to modify, amend, or remove content as needed.

Our Customers Include:

Human resource professionals, trainers, and benefits consultants

Many of our products are available in various media formats. We understand that professionals in different industries have specific terminology, topics of interest, and cultural nuances. Because of this, we prioritize adaptability. Whether it’s editing content, adding your logo, or removing our branding entirely, you have full control—either post-purchase or with our help during the buying process.

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.

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
