Reviews

From his years as a reporter and observer on the Behavioral Healthcare beat, Yandrick has succinctly defined the evolution of workplace behavioral intervention programs. Social researchers Roman and Blum defined the EAP core technology years ago, and now Yandrick has successfully stitched the stuffing around the core to deliver an impressive fastball. This book is a must buy for every HR manager, management consultant, and EAP program manager concerned about the human elements of the workplace. --W. Dennis Derr, corporate EAP manager, Mobil Corporation <br> It's filled with case studies and useful objective and subjective indicator lists. Whether you are an expert in behavioral health or a newcomer to the field, this is a must resource for your library. --Wayne N. Burton, M.D., vice president and medical director, The First National Bank of Chicago <br> Required reading for any work organization serious about excellence and looking for a compass to navigate the confounding waters of behavioral risk management. --Richard A. Turcotte, director, Occupational Health and Safety, BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc. <br> The health of business is no greater than the health of its people. Rudy Yandrick's book is the new essential instruction set for corporations today. His message: manage employee behavior intelligently or be noncompetitive. This book bridges the gap between dry and dusty human factors management and a healthy ecological system for people at work. A vital resource for organizations planning to survive into the next millenium. --John W. Roberts, workers' compensation program manager, University of California <br> A brilliantly written expose of the human dynamics oforganizational function and dysfunction. --E. Scott Geller, professor of psychology, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
