Subject: Offering Support to Wisconsin Families during Employee's Illness Dear [Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to reach out to express my deepest concern for [Employee's Name] and to offer any assistance needed during this challenging time. As an attentive employer and a caring community, it is important to come together and support one another, particularly when a family member is facing illness. Wisconsin Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) ensures that eligible employees can take unpaid leave for up to 12 weeks with job protection to care for their own or their family members' health conditions. However, we understand that additional assistance may be needed beyond these legal provisions. We genuinely care and want to lend a helping hand to our fellow employees and their families. We have compiled a comprehensive list of resources and supportive measures available to Wisconsin employees during such circumstances. These offerings aim to provide emotional, financial, and practical support, allowing you and your family to navigate through these turbulent times with ease. Some primary assistance programs include: 1. Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Our organization has partnered with a professional counseling service to provide free and confidential counseling sessions for employees and their immediate family members. These sessions can help you cope with the emotional strain and provide a safe space to share your feelings and concerns. 2. Flexible Work Arrangements: We understand that balancing work and personal responsibilities can become overwhelming during times of illness. Our company encourages managers to work with affected employees in devising flextime, telecommuting, or reduced workload arrangements, ensuring that important family obligations can be met. 3. Meal Train: Our company has created a meal train where employees can volunteer to provide home-cooked meals to families dealing with an employee's illness. This initiative aims to alleviate the burden of meal preparation and allow families to focus on caring for their loved ones. 4. Charitable Support Groups: Wisconsin hosts various charitable support groups catering to families facing medical crises. We can provide you with a comprehensive list of such organizations, allowing you to connect with individuals facing similar challenges, share experiences, and obtain helpful advice. 5. Employee Donation and Volunteer Programs: We have established programs that enable fellow employees to provide financial assistance, donate paid time off, or volunteer their services to support their colleagues during times of need. These programs foster a sense of unity within our workplace, making it easier for everyone to cope with difficult situations. Please be assured that our utmost priority is to ensure your well-being and that of your family throughout this process. If there is any assistance that you specifically require or if we can be of service in any way, do not hesitate to reach out to me personally or to our dedicated HR department. We are here to help and support you wholeheartedly. Our thoughts and prayers are with [Employee's Name] and your family during this challenging time. Please take comfort in knowing that you have the unwavering support and understanding of our compassionate team. Wishing you strength and peace in the days ahead. Warm regards, [Your Name] [Your Position] [Company Name] [Contact Information]
