I must admit that the last few months have been very exciting for me and Perspectives Ltd. As I have mentioned on other occasions, Perspectives and I have been providing services to the workplace for almost 30 years, primarily via EAPs. And during that time, we have seen the workplace and the EAP field change and grow.
Along the way, we’ve been changing and growing too. And last week, Perspectives made an announcement that we’re really excited about because it furthers our mission of providing high quality EAP services. We purchased another Chicago-based EAP company with a high-touch service delivery model and philosophy similar to our own: Creative Care Management (CCM). This organization, like ours, has been around for 30 years.
So why did we make this move? Of course, the opportunity to increase our revenue base was appealing. But an even greater draw was the opportunity to provide high quality programs to organizations in need of an employee relations partner, to deepen our footprint in education and small government and to serve a greater number of businesses headquartered in and around the Chicagoland area. It also gives us additional office locations and staff to add to our mix.
We also chose CCM because its CEO, Mike Davis, agreed to join us as Vice President of Account Services to ensure a seamless transition and support business development. I can’t tell you how great it is to have him on our team.
We will continue to deliver consistent and enhanced services to all of our customers – old and new – and are committed to quality and stability of those services. In keeping with this tradition of quality, we are individualizing the transition experience for each and every customer that’s brought into Perspectives EAP as a result of the acquisition. Mike Davis and I are personally managing that process.
Believe me, this is only an initial step in our long-term growth plan which includes pursuit of similar acquisitions. We’d like to find more EAP companies interested in joining the Perspectives team and delivering the high-touch experience to their customers. We believe that the marketplace wants and needs this kind of service now more than ever.
Thanks to everyone that has helped support this growth – our customers, our partners, peers and our staff. Check out the announcement via the link below and don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!
