Offer Employees Assistance in KC for FREE!!!

We all know that personal problems affect an employee’s life both at home and at work. When these problems arise, employers are faced with issues such as lost work time, lost productivity, and sometimes, dangerous workplace situations. However, many small to mid-sized companies in the Kansas City area can not afford the expense of an Employee Assistance Program. Now you can offer your employees a free helpline.

United Way 2-1-1 can help. 2-1-1 is an easy-to-remember central phone number connecting people with available community resources. United way 2-1-1 spans a 23-county area around Kansas City and has access to literally thousands of resources.

Turn to United Way 2-1-1 for… Any basic needs, senior care, health, employment, childcare, family assistance, financial assistance, help with utilities, suicide or substance abuse issues, and much more.

If 2-1-1 does not work from your phone, call 816-474-5112. United Way 2-1-1 is also available online at kcunitedway.org.

Have questions??? Call People Wise at 816-858-7300.
