Your employees come to work carrying things you don't see. The eviction notice. The unexpected bill. The car repair they can't afford. The IRS letter sitting on the kitchen counter. The kid who needs something they can't say yes to.
Most of the time, you'll never hear about it. They won't tell HR. They won't tell their manager. They'll just push through, until something gives. Performance slips. They start calling out. They quietly start looking for somewhere else to work.
Pathways at Work changes what happens next.
How Pathways at Work Helps Your Team
Through Pathways at Work, a United Way of Pickens County Success Coach comes on-site at your workplace and meets one-on-one with your employees. Every conversation is free, completely confidential, and focused on whatever your employee is navigating outside of work.
A Success Coach can help your employees:
- Find rent, mortgage, or utility assistance
- Navigate a tax notice or connect with free tax preparation
- Access benefits earned through veterans service
- Locate food, clothing, and other basic needs
- Build financial literacy and create a personal financial plan
- Connect with the right local resource for whatever else comes up
Your employees walk in carrying something heavy. They walk out with a path forward.
Why Pathways at Work Works
Built on a proven program model, Pathways at Work works because it removes the three biggest barriers to getting help: cost, access, and trust. There is no fee. The Success Coach is already on-site, so the first conversation doesn't require a day off or a drive across town. And because your Success Coach works for United Way of Pickens County, not for your company, your employees can speak freely about what's actually going on.
When your employees have somewhere to turn, things change. They show up. They stay. They focus on their work, because the rest of life feels a little less impossible. That isn't a perk. That's what happens when the people you work with feel seen.
