This automotive company's new "Associates Helping Associates" program was designed to provide assistance to employees who are facing hardship. Workers who experience the loss of a loved one can get help with funeral expenses or use of the corporate aircraft. Those who have lost homes as a result of fire or flood are offered temporary housing for their families. An offshoot of this program is the JM Family Associate Hotline Online, which allows employees to check in with co-workers via phone, text message or a Web site in the event of a hurricane or other disaster.
