On-Site Treatment - Stop Smoking
|
We will provide the Leslie-CamŽ Stop Smoking Program at your
place of business, your home, or your professional office. Our
facility requirements are minimal and can readily be implemented
at most locations utilizing the existing accommodations. Private
consultation areas are helpful to maintain confidentiality while
treating. In most cases, we require a minimum amount of
participants to schedule the on site visit. Our on site program
affords companies, medical facilities, and individuals
personalized service at their own location. The potential
benefits of a nicotine-free workplace are readily recognized as
employers can increase productivity, reduce sick time, and lower
their insurance costs. In 2002, the Center for Disease Control
quantified the savings to be over $3,000 per quitter.1
Here’s what you can do to get started…
- Announce and establish interest in the program.
Leslie-CamŽ can facilitate the dissemination of information
by supplying sample verbiage. Employee bulletin boards,
email, and announcement enclosures in paychecks serve as
vehicles for notification.
- Determine the level of employee interest to permit us to
properly quote our fee. Our experience is that one-third of
your working population uses nicotine.
- Consider the company's financial contribution to the
employees' treatment. Some companies elect to reimburse
their employees if the employee remains nicotine-free for a
pre-established amount of time. Others offer payroll
deductions. We will assist you by suggesting possible venues
for payment.
