About Empower Work
Empower Work is a non-profit that envisions a world where everyone can thrive at work. When work actually works for people, every individual’s economic and emotional well-being increases. And there is a ripple effect: communities, companies, the economy, and our democracy, thrive.
How We Fuel Change
To achieve our mission, we take a three pronged approach:
Direct service - our free, confidential text line improves well-being for historically marginalized workers through coaching and resources that support increased confidence, clarity, agency, empowerment, and economic security – all rooted in equity.
Training and community - we improve workplace skills, practices, and education through our training platform for both volunteers and community partners.
Policy and practice change - we root approaches to systemic workplace change in worker’s experiences through data and stories.
Our Outcomes
We believe every person should have the opportunity and be empowered to claim one’s rights to reach their full potential and thrive in healthy, equitable work environments. Through our three pronged approach that positively impacts individual and collective agency as well as addresses systemic change, we strive for the following outcomes:
Economic Security: Fair financial compensation for work and access to supportive pathways that lead to greater career mobility. When dislocated from work, safety net resources that provide a steady and secure source of transitional income and support to pursue next steps in their job search.
Emotional Well-being: Good mental health that enables people to manage stress amidst challenges, embrace their abilities and agency, and work well. Support for mental well-being individually and systemically as it underpins people’s ability to make decisions, build relationships, and feel secure.
Equitable Workplaces: Workplaces that recognize the intentional and unintentional barriers that prevent people from thriving and embrace ongoing work to create practices and structures that ensure economic and emotional well-being where workers can reach their full potential.
