Reynolds Tobacco Co. Chronicle Profile "My title is secretary but my job goes far beyond shorthand and typing," says Mrs. Janet Warren, secret flrv-rpp#>ntmti i cf +v?o 7 ? ? -- - J > AAA MIV pAOlUl A1 counseling office of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. "The people who come into our office are usually troubled. Their problems may involve grief, marital difficulties, a wayward child, or any number of other things," said Mrs. Warren. "They come seeking professional help and guidance, and very often I am |the first person they see. It's up to me to try to help them feel at ease." R.J. Reynolds has had a pastoral counseling program since 1949. At present there are two ministers, Rodney Brown and Charles Shaw, working full time in the program, counseling employees not only with spiritual problems but personal dilemmas as well. Although the pastoral counseling service is a department of the Tobacco Co., the services are utilized by employees of all subsidiaries of R.J. Reynolds Industries. "Our company recognized that personal problems off the job cannot always be left at home," commented Brown. "By having pastoral counselors readily available to employees, we not only help them but the company as well by helping with problems that can affect job performance." Often the first contact with the troubled employee is the initial telephone call, which is handled by Mrs. Warren. "When a call comes in from an employee who is keyed up about a problem, I stop whatever I am doing and listen," she says. "Then I set up an appointment for the caller and refer all the itifnrttiofiAt* T ?AAA<?rA?4 iuxviuiotiuu a iww^iy^u uuimg uic tuiivcrsdiiun iu one of the counselors so that he can be better prepared for the session." If the problem is pressing, and additional assistance is needed, the caller may also be referred to the company's medical department, counselors at a local hospital, or perhaps to Contact, a local community service for crisis situations. "One of the most important parts of the job is protecting the employees?everything is confidential," says Mrs. Warren. "Nothing can be left lying on my desk, when I'm not there."

"If I can make them feel at ease, give them a little encouragement, this reduces the tension. "I have always enjoyed helping people when I can-that's why this job is so rewarding for me. 1 feel the program is really worthwhile." The Winston-Salem Chronicle My Won Dear Liz, I think my woman 4s cutting out on me. I don't have any real evidence.
