JOB STRESS ANNOUNCES ITS NEWLY DESIGNED WEB SITE

White Plains, NY (Spring 1998) – “We have outgrown out old web site. It’s like outgrowing office space. We needed to upgrade,” say Job Stress Help (JSH) founder Bill DeLeno, “And we offer more services than ever before.”

The new site includes a JSH Newsletter, important news and useful information addressing workplace situations people find themselves in. JSH has also added specific sections designed for the recruitment of qualified, professional consultants and corporate clients to JSH’s virtual Employment Assistance Program (EAP).

DeLeno says, the move was necessary to meet the spiraling demand for JSH’s services. “We are becoming a one stop shop on the net but no longer just a one time stop. People can continue to keep coming back and take advantage of helpful, free resources.” DeLeno wants to make JSH (http://www.jobstresshelp.com) the number one site on the net for those suffering job stress, and additional new services and resources are planned. So keep a lookout and continue to keep coming back to see what’s new and take advantage of wealth of information and services for working people around the world.

White Plains, NY (Spring 1998) – What started as a pilot project has ballooned into a vital and indispensable link to the world according to Bill DeLeno, creator of Job Stress Help (JSH). “We get thousands of hits a month, DeLeno says and adds, “At one time, we weren’t even on the radar screen, never even made a blip, and we couldn’t be found on any map.”

But that’s changing. Job Stress Health has begun knocking on doors and publicizing it’s site as a valuable resource to all working people – management, non management, owners, employees, large corporate giants or stand alone entrepreneurial endeavors. JSH’s goal is simple – to make it easy for anyone to get an on-line consultation for worked-related problems.

“If you build it, they will come,” and they have, but JSH wants to light the way and mark the path for thousands, millions of people world wide to find them. Eventually, JSH plans to broaden its service by making itself available in multiple languages, but that’s down the road. For now, the success of the site continues to be driven by the needs of working people around the globe caught in the misery of job stress. They receive thoughtful, professional email responses within 72 hours of JSH receiving their queries.

Right now, the Job Stress Help Page is free of charge; a modest fee maybe charged in the future. For more information, visit the Job Stress Help Page at www.jobstresshelp.com.
