With the employee summer travel season fast approaching, businesses nationwide which cannot come to a complete halt but may take a summer lull, must keep track of their valuable employees in order to keep the company productive and moving forward.

J-W Energy Company and its subsidiaries have locations and employees scattered all over the Central United States region, and use the unique strategic services of Marketplace Chaplains to help its far-flung employees during the summer travel season and all year long.

“Marketplace Chaplains provide caring chaplain services in all of our 80 offices at J-W Energy Company,” said company President Gene Gradick.

He further underscored the unique employee benefit available, overseeing the welfare of his employees as a significant management resource. “It is comforting to know chaplains are there for our employees and their families, assisting them with the various facets of life,” said Gradick.

Corporations throughout the nation who employ the service say it’s comforting to have professionally trained workplace chaplains constantly in touch with their employees and family members.

Recently, Dave Tallo, H.R. Manager at McLane Northeast, a Marketplace Chaplains’ client company located in Baldwinsville, NY, called on the chaplaincy service to deal with the needs of his drivers who travel thousands of miles each year.

According to national statistics, employees are expected to travel more than a million miles in work and personal travel this summer and Marketplace Chaplains have expanded their service to cover the distance.

In 2011 alone, Marketplace Chaplains 2,591 male and female caregivers traveled more than two million miles, serving 458,987 client company employees and their family members, with 891,369 visits and 889 crisis interventions.

“From one end of this great country to another, Marketplace Chaplains are there to offer care, support and compassion to employees and their family members,” said Marketplace Chaplains’ President & COO Dick De Witt.

“Businesses everywhere recognize the need and benefit of offering care for their employees year-round, but even more so during the busy summer months. Utilizing Marketplace Chaplains gives each one the tools they need to help them attain that goal,” continued De Witt.
