Worklife Solutions: Balancing Work and Home

The WorkLife Solutions brand was founded in 1998 by former U.S. Senator John Edwards, who was then in the center of a sex scandal. WorkLife Solutions now provides round-the-clock direct access to their preferred candidates and their family members. WorkLife Solutions offers onsite training programs and job performance management training for managers and employees, as well as social networking events on subjects such as sexual harassment and conflict resolution. Their network of over 35 million representatives is made up of government, nonprofit, and private sector representatives.

Each year, over three hundred employees seek assistance from WorkLife Solutions to help them define work-life balance and manage their personal lives. The brand is sold through various channels including television, radio, print, and internet advertising. In an effort to be accessible and to provide insightful advice on balancing work and home, WorkLife Solutions does not allow phone calls to be answered and emails to be sent. Instead, they encourage candidates to attend one of their in-person or webinars and to check in with them via the company’s website.

Worklife Solutions’ business philosophy is based on the belief that people are persons, not just commodities. With that philosophy in mind, they provide their clients with a comprehensive package of employee benefits and services, including medical and dental insurance, paid sick leave, benefit coverage for children, vision and dental care, travel insurance, meal vouchers, and volunteer opportunities. In addition to these benefits, they also offer a full range of employee support services including career counseling, training and development, and employee benefits coordination and management. This ensures that the best interests of the client and employees are met. All services are designed to enhance the quality of life for all involved and to improve the company’s bottom line.
