A steady job is the most reliable step on the pathway to financial stability but too often barriers such as childcare, reliable transportation, and acute need for emergency financial assistance derail good employees and impact their employment. As a result, employees either lose their jobs or opt to relocate to another community.
What is Workplace Wellness?
Granite United Way's Workplace Wellness Initiative promotes the health and well-being of employees in the workplace by improving workplace productivity, retention, advancement, and financial stability for employees.
