26 October 2005 – Raleigh, NC – Work-Life Benefits (WLB), a leading provider of work/life employee benefits, has launched UnionSelect, the first-ever work and family information and referral service specifically designed for labor unions.
- Limited or No Access to Internet or Phone: Most work/life referral services can only be accessed via phone or computer making them inaccessible to many union members, especially in the telecommunications and manufacturing sectors. UnionSelect staffs on-site consultants to help employees with no access to phone or internet during the work day.
- Non-Traditional Working Schedules: UnionSelect work/life consultants have developed expertise in finding care for hourly workers and/or families who work two different shifts and need overlap coverage. UnionSelect representatives also are trained in addressing employee needs during unplanned shutdowns or sudden shift work schedules.
- Affordability of Child and Elder Care: Experts at helping employees in all salary ranges anticipate needs and ? nd appropriate resources for the family. Affordable care options-consultants assist low wage earners to take advantage of the various programs that can make quality child care more affordable.
"Every aspect of UnionSelect is delivered by union represented employees who understand and are sensitive to the needs of labor," says Mary Ellen Gornick, senior vice president for union services. "UnionSelect goes well beyond traditional telephonic work/life models to include on-site care consultants who visit plant locations to assist members during their shift, resulting in higher utilization and more personalized contact."
UnionSelect is delivered through WLB's Auburn Hills, Michigan service center, a unionized call center delivering services to union members for over 20 years. In fact, UnionSelect is also the only work/life employee benefit delivered by union represented employees for union represented employees.
