For Employees:

Most of us spend eight or more hours a day at work. Our profession and/or our work (sometimes two different things) comprise much of our identity and consume one-third or more of our time and energy. Sometimes personal issues or situations that create obstructions to productive work arise. Most of the time employees are able to cope with the work demands but could use help in resolving problems before they interfere with work or become a larger life crisis. When you are unhappy or unfulfilled, or blocked in your goals, it is helpful to have someone to talk to who both understands your emotional experience and has insight into the environments you operate in. Bound by federal and state law to maintain your confidentiality, Employee Assistance Programs and individual counseling provide a professional setting for you to explore and resolve your conflicts, be they personal or professional.

For Managers:

You are tasked with meeting the mission and goals of the organization and motivating those under your supervision. This can be a daunting task — a difficult course to navigate between competing and sometimes ill-defined priorities. It is helpful to have a coach who can listen and offer an objective viewpoint and plan of action.

For Organizations:

You may be seeking a consultation or benefit program to enhance employee productivity and support your managers in their ability to maximize their roles as directors of the goals and mission of the organization.
