Primary Exempt PurposeEmpower Work is on a mission to create healthier, more equitable work spaces where people are supported, valued, and empowered. We believe that when people thrive at work, communities, companies, the economy, and our democracy, thrive. To reach that, we need to dramatically shift cultural norms and expectations within workplaces. And we need to radically transform how we support people at critical, opportunity-altering moments. Our approach fuels positive change in three key ways: 1) Our text line provides immediate, confidential support for under-represented and under-resourced workers, with emotional and economic outcomes that keep them on an opportunity pathway. 2) Our trained peer counselors utilize their training and skill development in thousands of U.S. workplaces, and 3) Aggregate, anonymous data and storytelling from the conversations can inform new approaches, tools, trainings, and policies and change narrative norms for systemic workplace change.PrimaryExemptPurposeTxt

Description Program Srvc AccomHealthy Workplace Peer Counseling: Empower Work provides support via trained peer counselors to help each person to think through the situation, provide larger context, and consider options for how to take action. Our goal is for every person to leave feeling empowered with a next step that works for them. Our peer counseling model draws on best practices in coaching and strengths-based management focused on active listening, reflection, and positive inquiry. We also connect people to vetted information and resources if needed. Over 90 percent of our users say they feel better after talking to a peer counselor, and that an action they took resulted in the impact they intended. Our volunteers go through rigorous 20 hour training, with over 95% saying they learn new skills and approaches they use professionally as well.DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt
