Local Service Partners

Local Service Partners are independent EAPs with which WPO has established strategic relationships for the delivery of global EAP services in alignment with the WPO models, processes and quality standards.

Our Commitment

We know that many working people around the world face challenges related to mental health, physical health, and a lack of successful work-life integration. The stressors that they face can reduce their effectiveness at work, and their ability to be successful in their jobs. In some cases, crises may occur and these traumatic situations can bring further impacts.

People, especially in difficult situations, need support to be at their best. We are here to help.

Our Commitment to DEI

Alan King - President and CEO

CEO Letter

We are living through incredibly difficult and frightening times. The tragic and senseless deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and the horrific murder of George Floyd, weigh heavily on our hearts and lay bare some ugly and shameful truths about our country that can no longer be hidden or ignored. For too many people of color, Minneapolis is not an aberration, it is a daily reality. As a nation, we must acknowledge that racism exists in America and that it is a far more pervasive and lethal threat than COVID-19.

Beyond acknowledgement, we must commit to meaningful change...The time for debate and arguing semantics is long past – Black Lives Matter.

Responding to social injustice means listening

Workplace Options supports treating people equally and respectfully regardless of background by encouraging healthy conversations about racism, privilege, and social justice. Diversity and inclusion makes WPO a better company, better employer and better member of the communities we serve. We opened the line of communication between our leaders and employees to receive real-time feedback by:

Providing, through a partner EAP, access to confidential counsellor-led groups and individual counselling to support WPO employees experiencing distress from civil unrest and social injustice. These sessions have been well-attended, with many employees expressing their appreciation for the service.

Led a “family forum” programme that brought small groups of employees from different backgrounds together for ongoing conversations on a variety of topics related to social justice. The programme was so successful that WPO leaders are looking to expand it moving forward.

Responding to social injustice means listening.

Feedback from our employees has led to a number of new initiatives on diversity and inclusion.

  • • Formation of a Diversity and Inclusion Committee dedicated to ensuring an equitable, safe, and inclusive workplace for all employees where they can live their authentic lives and do their best work. The committee will help Workplace Options implement goals that will help foster, train, and promote diversity awareness within WPO and externally in our community.
  • • Commitment to establishing a mentorship programme that will provide leadership and development opportunities for talent across our organisation.
  • • Partnership with Shaw University, one of North Carolina’s historically black colleges and universities (HBCU), to offer a full internship for the school’s social work programme. Additionally, this internship pilot will serve as a model for our other service centres to follow.
  • • Support organisations committed directly addressing racial inequalities and social reform.
