Increasing employee retention by connecting individuals with support and skills training

Employer Resource Networks® (ERN®) are private-public associations whose purpose is improving workforce retention through employee support and training. When you join the ERN® your employees have access to vocational and essential skills training, counseling on career laddering, and access to a success coach. In partnership with a local credit union, ERN® provides a myriad of financial wellness workshops onsite at each ERN® employer.

Participation leads to improved employee retention and lower hiring costs. A Success Coach at the employer’s location will confidentially assist employees to improve employment skills, overcome personal barriers and prepare for advancement opportunities.
