Calling
All Small Business Owners
Did
you know that mental illnesses and chemical dependency
cost businesses billions of dollars each year?
Did
you know that only one out of every two people who need
mental health treatment receives it?
Did
you know that untreated mental health problems negatively
affect workplace productivity and cost businesses billions
of dollars annually?
Large
businesses like American Express, DuPont and Pitney Bowes
have learned from experience that providing employees with
access to comprehensive mental health and chemical dependency
services greatly reduces the costs associated with absenteeism
and lost productivity.
Small
businesses would benefit as well. New York State Assembly
member Joel Miller (R-Poughkeepsie), a dentist and small
business owner for 35 years says, “If employees are
distracted by their own mental health needs or those of
their families, they aren't productive and the business
suffers. That's why small businesses really have to provide
good mental health coverage."
So
if you are a small business owner and are interested in
recruiting the best employees, improving productivity, staying
ahead of the competition and improving the bottom line,
then...
you
need Timothy's Law.
If
you would like more information on
Small
Businesses for Timothy's Law,
