What is an ERN®?

An ERN® is an employer collaborative that pools resources to provide an on-the-job success coach who helps with work/life issues to all employees.

For member businesses, the success coach works on site to a) address many of the social determinants of work that can cause stress and derail a worker's performance, b) provide financial literacy and other essential training and connect workers.

In other markets, ERN® member companies’ success includes:

  • employee retention rates of 90%-98%
  • average employer ROI of 500%
  • increased employee engagement and improved company culture
  • informal regional human resource networks
  • increased family financial stability
