Join Us: Employer Resource Network (ERN)

We want to personally invite you to see first-hand how an Employer Resource Network (ERN) can benefit your organization and assist you in becoming an Employer of Choice.  We would love for you to be in on the ground level of this exciting initiative!  We personally believe that this could be one of the most successful systems that we create for impact.   

We’re inviting each of you, as business innovators, to experience the benefits to your employees by enhancing your HR/EAP efforts.  Once you see how successful this is, we know you will be hard pressed to find a reason not to participate.   

This initiative is a network of businesses joined by the desire for a holistic approach in leveraging resources to provide innovative solutions to create work and life success for your employees.  The model links employers to take positive and effective action on securing one of our most valuable assets - our skilled workforce.  The businesses who partner create a joint venture to fund an Employer Resource Network (ERN) with dedicated staff (shared Success Coach) to provide a range of onsite services aimed at, but limited to:

• Alleviating barriers to job retention or advancement (Transportation, childcare, financial stability and housing, by linking employees to services and resources available)
• Providing employees with opportunities for advancement within the employer network
• Training new and incumbent workers in both “soft skills” and job-specific skills
• Providing a network for HR professionals to leverage resources around common issues

We will hear from James Vander Hulst from ERN-USA on how ERNs have benefited businesses, their employees and communities across the country. We hope you will join us for breakfast on Wednesday, July 11^th at 7:30 a.m. at the Michael Dunn Center, 629 Gallaher Rd., Kingston TN (I-40 Exit 356) to learn more about this innovative concept and see how your organization can benefit. 

Be sure to bring your HR staff to this meeting.
