Sales is a profession that has a high incidence of alcoholism and addiction. How does a manager of a remote/field sales team spot the signs that one of his employees may have a problem? And once a problem is identified, what should the manager handle?

After Rehab – Assisting Your Employees as the Return to Work

Ty helps employers structure systems that help their employee successfully return to the company and reconnect with the job and coworkers. Building safe work environments increases employee performance and satisfaction and decreases turnover.
