Ohio Success Coaches Assisted ERN Employees with 2,072 Service Needs in 2019 in efforts to increase retention and family stability. Top ten service categories this year were consistent with last year’s report which include basic needs such as financial, housing, government agency navigation, utilities, health insurance, and transportation. “Along with securing personalized resources for needs that can directly jeopardize job retention, other top ten needs that were consistent with last year’s data include coaching and counseling referrals,” said President and CEO, James Vander Hulst. “ERNs provide a holistic retention approach combining resource connection with coaching, helping employees create and follow-up with a plan to manage those resources. Once immediate needs are addressed, we move forward with long term goals such as home buying or skill building to further stabilize the individual or family. In addition to high arching turnover savings, the end goal is a focused and skilled workforce with a transformed culture of supportive employment. With current pandemic challenges, success coaching is more important than ever and will continue into next year as we navigate recovery.” Discover how employers are experiencing an average ROI of 554% with 17% of their employees using an onsite Success Coach in the Ohio ERN Annual Report.
