Employee Wellness Aspect Two
Adding emotional and caregiving support to help keep our employees productive.
Employees are supported, encouraged and given the right tools to proactively meet the
challenges of child and elder care, adoption, college, and other day to day living concerns.
• DARTS Program(s)
• Employee Assistance Program
Employee Wellness Aspect Three
Providing specialized, personal care combined with on -site training and workshops to
strengthen employees, the City of Rosemount and ultimately the community.
• In -house Training Opportunities
• Employee Assistance Program
When left unresolved, personal problems can have significant consequences for both
employees and employers. Sometimes, people can handle their problems on their own.
However, in many instances, people need outside assistance. That is where an Employee
Assistance Program (EAP) is most helpful. An effective Employee Assistance Program can
serve the interest of both the employee and employee. By providing a compassionate,
professional resource for assessment, referral and brief counseling, the EAP creates a
healthy difference in people's lives and will help us to operate departments at peak efficiency.
Keeping these aspects in mind, requests for proposal were solicited from various EAP
providers. We received information from Blue Cross Blue Shield, Ceridian, Midwest and
T.E.A.M. In addition, a survey was completed of surrounding cities and the providers that
they utilize. After careful analysis, it has been determined that T.E.A.M., Inc. most closely
matches the needs of our employee population. T.E.A.M. offers (highlighted items are not
available with most other programs):

Although funding for an EAP was not listed as a budgeted expense for 2004, Council
indicated at a meeting earlier this year that they would be willing to consider additional
employee training expenses. Staff is requesting that Council approve these consultant
expenditures so that the City may further expand employee training opportunities (including
workshops specific to supervisors) and the wellness program as a whole.
SUMMARY
Staff would like Council's approval to hire T.E.A.M., Inca to develop an Employee Assistance
Program for the City of Rosemount.

SCOPE OF REQUIRED SERVICES
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES:
The first thing we would like to do as we work with the City is to meet with your Human
Resources Department in order to develop the policies and procedures relating to the operation
of your EAR We suggest that within the initial month (or even the month prior to the start
date of our contract) orientation meetings be scheduled to familiarize all staff and their families
with their EAP, and to encourage the use of this service. Issues addressed at these orientation
meetings generally include the following: examples of concerns that might initiate an EAP
call, stressing the effectiveness of early intervention, confidentiality, some history of T.E.A.M.,
Inc. and why it has been selected to serve The City of Rosemount, who is eligible for this
service, the cost of using this service ($0), how possible referral situations outside of T.E.A.M.,
Inc. will work, what specific services are offered, the locations and business hours of our
locations, how after -hours and emergent services are coordinated, the national availability of
services, and access to hearing impaired, translated and disabled services.
A crucial part of an EAP program is to enlist support from management and the supervisory
staff. Without this support, your EAP is not usually as optimally effective. Therefore,
T.E.A.M., Inc. would like to meet with your supervisory staff to provide the support, training
and assistance needed to fully understand your EAR It is our intention to meet with these
individuals during the initial month of your contract to provide training and to assess the
supervisory /management needs of The City of Rosemount. A description of a typical

COURSE OF ASSISTANCE
We have found at T.E.A.M., Inc. that nearly %z of the situations that present themselves are
resolved within the EAP construct. For those individuals who do require additional services,
we work closely with them to facilitate a smooth transition to providers within the parameters
of their major medical benefits or to other community services. To serve merely as a
clearinghouse for outside services is counter to the very mission of T.E.A.M., Inc.
COORDINATION OF BENEFITS
When referrals to external services are made, they are made based on the parameters of the
City's major medical plan, access to services, specialty, proximity, and availability. The client
is given at least two to three recommendations to contact. Once the client has confirmed an
initial session with a clinician, a formal referral is made. In the case of a mental health referral,
the counselor at T.E.A.M., Inc. contacts either the clinical director or office manager to
VA
determine an appropriate match on a specialty /needs basis. As with all external providers, an
evaluation of services will be requested from the client.
Information concerning referral resources is collected on the basis of specialties, credentials,
proximity, and access to the City's major medical plan. Re- credentialing is done every two
years, and includes the above information and any changes, as well as examination of the
evaluation/satisfaction surveys completed by each client. These evaluations are completed
both on the client's experiences of the external providers and of their experience each step of
the way with T.E.A.M., Inc.
FOLLOW UP
All external referrals are followed up with evaluation of services from the employee, and all
mandatory referrals are followed up (after obtaining a formal release of information) with
regular reporting to appropriate management regarding compliance to recommended treatment.
This is done to ensure that the client receives the help that they need, and to assist the City in
making informed decisions regarding each employee. In accordance with confidentiality
guidelines, no specific information regarding the employee is ever revealed.
REPORTS
T.E.A.M., Inc. will provide the City of Rosemount with regular utilization reports. The
information contained in these reports includes no identifying information, but rather a
summary of the issues presented, and the number of cases opened.
PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS
Samples of some of our promotional materials explaining the benefits of and encouraging the
use of EAP are included. These materials are available to you on an ongoing basis, as
requested.
DIRECT SERVICING OF EMPLOYEES
T.E.A.M., Inc. offers the City of Rosemount face -to -face solution- focused counseling available
for all clinical issues. The number of sessions will be guaranteed for the 1 -3 sessions referred
to in your RFP. It should be noted here that this means 1 -3 sessions per issue for each client,
not per year. Thus, if a client has a second issue later in the year, this will become a new set of
sessions for that client.
24 -hour coverage, provided by Masters Level therapists, is included in your contract.
N
TRAINING SESSIONS AND WORKSHOPS
T.E.A.M., Inc. has a wide variety of specialized trainings and workshops available to the City

education and coaching of your supervisory staff as a significant factor in the success of your

CRITICAL INCIDENT STRESS DEBRIEFING (CISD): CISD is a procedure that uses
techniques to effectively manage stress resulting from traumatic events or critical incidents.
Critical incidents can include natural disasters, the death of colleagues or clients, witnessing
death or serious injury or risking serious injury to one's self. Techniques are utilized that
target toward mitigating or resolving the psychological distress associated with a critical
incident or traumatic event. This process also will assist survivors /witnesses in reducing the
negative effects of the incident while people who are experiencing stress reactions to abnormal
events. A T.E.A.M., Inc. professional can visit at your work site and assist your employees
during these difficult times at your arrangement. Due to the extensive nature of CISD, there
is a $100/hour fee for these services.
Additionally, T.E.A.M., Inc. makes use of our website for ongoing information about access
to services, and includes current articles pertaining to everyday stressors /issues. This site is
updated and revised on a regular basis.

T.E.A.M., Inc. offers mediation services between employees and their supervisor(s) whenever

COMMUNICATON STRATEGY
At T.E.A.M., Inc., we prefer to educate employees about their EAP by providing in- person
orientations. We will coordinate these training sessions with HR in order to most effectively
meet with everyone with the least disturbance to your staffing. As previously indicated, there
are two main types of orientations; managerial and non - managerial. During these orientations,
magnets, wallet cards and brochures are given to everyone. Additionally we will provide you
with posters for your lunchrooms, which serve to remind people about their EAP as well as
various circumstances that might lead them to use this free service. T.E.A.M., Inc. also has a
variety of mailers that we can offer up periodically, again to remind people about their EAP
and encourage utilization. We are also available to chat with new employees on an ongoing
basis, as requested.
11
PROCESSING AND REPLYING TO EMPLOYEE INQUIRIES
Clients normally flow through T.E.A.M., Inc. in the following manner: During office hours, a
receptionist first responds to a call. If the employee /member or family member wishes to make
an appointment, the receptionist makes such an appointment. If, on the other hand, the
individual desires to speak immediately with a clinician, or is calling from out -of -state and is
requesting services, one of our "on- call" counselors responds to the call and attempts to assist
the individual immediately. If the call is an emergency, an immediate appointment is made
with the on -call counselor or another counselor on staff.
T.E.A.M., Inc. currently staffs 8 full time and 3 part time clinicians. There are 2 on -call
therapists available at all times, and a minimum of 9 clinicians on duty during regular business
hours. Executive. Director, Dr. Steven Gordon supervises the staff. Dr. Gordon comes to us
with a Doctorate of Education in Counseling, a license as an Alcohol and Drug Counselor, a
Registered Nursing Degree, 24 years of experience as a clinician and administrator, and
previous mental health managerial experience for Blue Cross/Blue Shield.
After hours calls are taken by a staff of Masters Level Social Workers or Psychologists. When
the client calls, even the initial contact is always made with a Masters Level clinician. All
reports of contacts are directly faxed to T.E.A.M., Inc. and followed through the next business
day.
The average amount of time between the initial call and the first appointment is 24 -72 hours in
non - emergent situations, and immediately in critical situations. Subsequent appointments are
made based on the needs of the client; sometimes the same week, the next week or spaced with
several weeks in between visits.
Calls are taken immediately, 24 hours /day.
Emergent clients will be seen within 24 -36 hours.
The assessment process begins with a thorough intake interview. T.E.A.M., Inc. has developed
its own assessment tools. Additionally, a policy and procedure manual addresses the issue of
assessment and referral. T.E.A.M., Inc. utilizes criteria and protocols developed by Blue Cross
and Blue Shield of Michigan in our Managed Care role. Provisional diagnoses are made
utilizing the criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric
Association (DSM -IV). Though no formal diagnosis is made, distinct clinical impressions are
discussed with the client with the goal of discussing the presenting symptoms, treatment
modalities available, and, if appropriate, referrals to external services. In extreme situations,
and if warranted, the client will be personally escorted to hospital services.
When referrals to external services are made, they are made based on the parameters of the
City's major medical plan, access to services, specialty, proximity, and availability. The client
is given at least two to three recommendations to contact. Once the client has confirmed an
initial session with a clinician, a formal referral is made. In the case of a mental health referral,
the counselor at T.E.A.M., Inc. contacts either the clinical director or office manager to
12
determine an appropriate match on a specialty /needs basis. As with all external providers, an
evaluation of services will be requested from the client.
Information concerning referral resources is collected on the basis of specialties, credentials,
proximity, and access to the City's major medical plan. Re- credentialing is done every two
years, and includes the above information and any changes, as well as examination of the
evaluation/satisfaction surveys completed by each client. These evaluations are completed
both on the client's experiences of the external providers and of their experience each step of
the way with T.E.A.M., Inc.
All external referrals are followed up with evaluation of services from the employee, and all
mandatory referrals are followed up (after obtaining a formal release of information) with
regular reporting to appropriate management regarding compliance to recommended treatment.
This is done to ensure that the client receives the help that they need, and to assist the City in
making informed decisions regarding each employee. In accordance with confidentiality
guidelines, no specific information regarding the employee is ever revealed.
T.E.A.M., Inc. will provide local services to The City of Rosemount with providers located in
areas within 30 minutes or 30 miles of your facility. We always work directly with each client
to ensure that the services provided are done so with clinicians in their local area with whom
they are most comfortable developing a working relationship.
