Business Resource Network Benefits

The Business Resource Network (BRN) is designed to empower companies by providing vital resources that address employees' personal needs and boost workplace engagement. As a BRN member, you’ll collaborate with leading businesses in the region to develop effective community and workforce solutions, while also gaining access to a dedicated Success Coach for your organization. 

Employee turnover represents a significant financial burden for employers. Participating companies benefit from the the expertise of an experienced Success Coach, who collaborates closely with employees to identify and overcome employment barriers. These Coaches provide critical support in areas such as budgeting, childcare, transportation, and housing, enabling employees to navigate life’s challenges more effectively. As a result, employees become more reliable and productive, while employers experience reduced turnover rates and a more stable workforce. The BRN not only fosters individual success but also drives organizational performance. 

Success coaches are certified in the following: Community Health Worker, Michelle McQuade PERHMA and Wellbeing, Mental Health First Aid, Suicide Prevention, Bridges out of Poverty

Our Business Resource Network comprises 5 Great Lakes Bay Region employers representing over 9000 employees. Though each employer's industry may be different, retention and commitment to the community are at the core of their partnership. With the BRN partnership, the PartnerShift network has increased employee retention rates for employers, saving hundreds of dollars for their company.
