Work WORKS!
I highly recommend Work WORKS! as an employment retention resource. In a very challenging environment, Robert and his team trained over 750 of our new hires and provided leadership training for our front-line supervisors, which helped improved our retention rate."
Derek Dozer, Former Director of Human Resources, Columbus Castings
Work WORKS! is an employment retention resource for employers. We work with non-profits, and other helping organizations, to find employment candidates and to support their onboarding with life management skills training and mentoring support to sustain employment that will help move their lives forward.
Work WORKS! is based on more than 35 years of experience working with individuals living in poverty who have been chronically unemployed or underemployed due to personal choices and life circumstances associated with living in poverty. This group of people lose jobs because of poor employment soft skills and problem personal issues that spill into work life.
We provide employers with retention support resources, along with technical support help screen and equip employment candidates sustain employment.
Mentoring Matters
Best practice research indicates that pre-employment soft skills training, coupled mentoring support increases employment retention dramatically. This leads to long-term employment success for the individuals who receive this support and significant employment costs savings for employers.
