WORKLIFE ISSUES
Many of your employees have concerns about their children and elderly relatives that are in their care. An employee who is distracted by expensive and difficult care for their loved ones will have a far more difficult time concentrating on their work.

We can help you develop child care and elder care programs, policies, and referrals, so you employees can get the resources they need from someone they trust - you. Not only can you provide needed services, but you can build employee loyalty and trust in the process.

We can also connect you to different programs and agencies that can address these worklife issues.

LOANED EXECUTIVE PROGRAM
We can use the skills of your employees to help work on a campaign or on a customized assignment. We have found these programs benefit your company, your employees, and United Way.

Your employees gain the following experience, which he or she can then bring back to you:

• Marketing, sales, relationship management, and presentation skills.
• Knowledge of the community.
• Seeing their actions directly affect the community for the better.
• Interaction with United Way professionals and volunteers, many of whom are leaders in the community.

The Loaned Executive Program can be especially effective in times of transition, or when employees are awaiting a new assignment.

MENTORING
Mentoring is a relationship between a young person and a caring adult. It gives children a positive role model that they may be lacking, helping them develop life skills and a more community-based outlook. It allows your employees to lead by example, and to share their experience, their education, and their dedication to help build a stronger future generation.

We can help you:

• Design and implement a company-sponsored mentoring program.
• Provide training for program leaders and mentors.
• Organize a "Shadowing Day" event, where young people come into your workplace for a day and 'shadow' one of your employees.
• Participate in the annual "Take Our Daughters to Work Day."

• Link your company's mission to a specific philanthropic goal.
