What Our Support Means to Your Employees.
A Safe Home for Her and Her Children.
"卡米"在抚养权问题上急需帮助，而且要快. 如果这周末她找不到律师的话, 她孩子的父亲打算带着他们的孩子搬到德克萨斯州去. 因为她失去了监护权，只有探视权，卡米知道她要打架了. The most affordable lawyer she found asked for $2,500 up front before they would even look at her case.
感觉被打败了，卡米决定去见现场领航员. In one meeting, 领航员能够联系领航员首选的律师, explain the urgency of the situation, 安排卡米只付200美元的定金. 然后，律师和卡米做了一个符合她预算的付款安排. With the help of the Navigator and the attorney, Cammy was not only able to stop the relocation, but she now has full custody of her children.
Relief for an Employee and Concerned Managers.
两名经理担心一名处于危险境地的员工. 他们找到了领航员，因为这个问题超出了他们的范围. The employee was hesitant to meet with the Navigator due to fear of judgment or making matters worse. However, once the employee sat down with the Navigator, they immediately knew it was a safe, confidential space to discuss their problem openly. Together, the employee and the Navigator discussed the violence occurring in her home and identified individuals whom she could reach out to as a support system.
The Navigator called the Women’s Center for Advancement (WCA) and connected her to a support group and legal assistance when the client was ready. 客户带着希望和创造一个更安全的家庭环境的计划离开了. 她对《kok娱乐》杂志说:“我不认为这行得通，但我感觉好多了. 这对我很有帮助，因为你知道我不是受害者，你也没有把我当成受害者.”
A Move from Uncertain Renter to Confident Homeowner.
“史蒂夫”的租约即将到期，他不确定是否要续约. 他想要一个更好的家庭和社区来抚养他的孩子. 他请领航员帮他再找个地方出租, but after reviewing his credit and income, 领航员问他是否考虑过拥有一栋房子. Steve always thought homeownership was not possible for him due to his criminal record and lack of knowledge of the process.
The Navigator was able to educate Steve on the qualifications and responsibilities of homeownership and give him the good news that he was qualified. 然后，领航员给他介绍了一位抵押贷款官员和一位房地产经纪人. He contacted them the same day. Within a month, Steve closed on his first home, 正式让他成为家里第一个拥有自己房子的人. Overwhelmed with joy, Steve moved his family into their new home and even joined the neighborhood watch association to ensure this neighborhood would remain safe for years to come.
我们希望支持员工成为最好的自己. So many employees have distractions and crises outside of work that make it difficult for them to be focused and present at work, yet they have little to no support system. GrOW allows employees to get support one-on-one in a safe, confidential space by providing guidance, helping them find resources, 并在生活的挑战中提供支持系统，只要他们需要. 对我们来说，这是一个帮助支持全体员工的机会.

How can we promote these services to our employees?
GrOW Navigator服务是您为培养员工而进行的一项投资. A Navigator’s mission is to guide people toward solutions to challenges and empower rather than “fix” people. Therefore, 它不应该被定位或视为员工只在紧急情况下使用的服务. Because GrOW Navigators are a third party, and because of the confidentiality commitment, employees are less likely to feel that their professional reputation is at risk due to personal challenges.
GrOW导航员与管理层或人力资源部门之间的信任是如何处理的?
我们将管理层和人力资源部门视为支持员工的合作伙伴, 了解必须为员工保密. Our Program Director manages the overall employer relationships and checks in with HR and management via regular meetings.
员工如何在保密方面获得完全的信心?
GrOW Navigators explain to the employee that their conversations are held in confidence unless the person permits us to share information – the only exception being if there is a concern that the person will harm themselves or others. No specifics are shared with the employer.
How long will an employee be served?
员工使用Navigator的会话数没有限制. In addition, the employee can continue to work with their Navigator as long as they remain at one of our partner companies.
Should everyone go through the program?
Navigator sessions are open to all employees. We work with the employer to promote the program through various channels visible to employees at all levels: new hire orientation, emails, website, bulletin boards, etc. 我们也鼓励雇主将员工直接推荐给领航员. However, the employee is ultimately the decision-maker as to whether they use the services offered. In addition to assisting employees, our Navigators are available to their family members, one generation up, down and across.
How can a supervisor work with a GrOW Navigator?
Managers and supervisors play an essential role in the success of their employees and the integration of the GrOW program into the workplace culture. 主管-员工关系是员工到Navigator的关键转介点. 主管通常会首先从员工那里了解到潜在的障碍. 让员工向领航员寻求帮助, they can often get their employees the help they need before it affects their performance at work.
