Background
WorkLife Partnership is a nonprofit organization that helps people one-on-one to solve the kinds of challenges that can land them out of work. We partner with thousands of community resources to help people get bills paids, find secure housing, access health care, or just talk to someone who cares. We partner with corporate employers and motivate them to invest in this support for their employees so our service model is self-sustaining.

A key step in our proven process is choosing business partners with the right mindset: Business leaders who want to do right by their employees and are looking for a partner to help them address the full breadth of issues their employees experience. These leaders understand that employee well-being impacts work, and businesses have a responsibility to support the health and stability of their workers.

WorkLife’s employer engagement strategy includes quarterly check-ins with each employer member to review trends in their workforce shown in both collective service data and anecdotes. Years of data-storytelling and partnership with businesses has built trust in our work and continued investment, even through the downturn of 2020—we achieved 93% employer retention this year.
Purpose
While our engagement strategy has been successful at employer retention and at encouraging further employer investments in employee well-being and economic mobility, it would be vastly improved and scalable with a simple platform that serves as the place for our 90+ (and growing) employers to connect, learn, and provide valuable feedback. The platform and content would amplify our organization’s impact and improve the employer engagement feedback loop.
Beyond our own employer engagement, we hope to create an online community where our employer partners can begin to connect with each other. Because our employers are united by a common mindset, there is potential for them to amplify their individual social impact by connecting to a supportive community.

We believe that given the right amount of knowledge, armed with real data and real stories from our 1:1 work with their employees, business leaders can advocate for themselves, their employees, and their communities. Our goal is to build a platform that will inform and facilitate employer conversations on social issues of job quality, worker agency, social-safety nets, mobility, and equity in the workplace.

WorkLife Partnership invites proposals from web application development companies to design, maintain, and host this digital platform.

Goals
Scale our employer engagement process by automating data reporting and employer education with a custom web app/platform
Facilitate data-storytelling by connecting a live data dashboard with learning content that puts each data point in context
Create a community space for our like-minded employer members to connect on issues of job quality, worker agency, frontline worker benefits, and equity practices in the workplace
Track use/engagement with platform and content to evaluate demand
Demonstrate and record behavior change in companies as a result of connecting their company data/stories to community issues and each other
Key Features
Display live service and satisfaction data and trends in a visually beautiful, compelling dashboard through connections to Salesforce/Survey Monkey APIs (or chosen data warehousing)
Contextualize data dashboard within a narrative of impact
Data modules point to related content that will deepen understanding
Allow customizing of data modules shown for each employer account
Create content library of short video learning sessions
Consider other forms of simple content, such as short posts, PDFs, links to external content, or FAQ format page
Allow customizing of content shown for each employer account
Track content views and support content ratings/feedback
Consider other data to track engagement, such as time on site
Users can bookmark or complete content to track their progress
Users can comment/reply on content or start independent discussion threads
Simple feedback polling attached to specific pages or content
With an employer account, individual users can invite new users
Consider a form of new user validation, such as email domain

We are growing! Our Food Pantry, Clothing Shop, and Food Delivery programs are busy and we are always in need for volunteers to help serve. If you have a few hours you can donate as a greeter, sorter, stocker-or other skills you wish to SHARE, please contact us today!

Opportunity Details

You are capable of great things. You are loved. You have a team of supporters thinking of you and cheering you on everyday. We believe in you.

Did you know that about yourself? When was the last time someone spoke encouragement to you?

Once a month, our team dedicates 30 minutes of our day to share encouragement with people who may not hear encouraging words often through our Kindness Collaborative Initiative. We use technology from our partner, City of Samaritans (www.samaritan.city/equip), to discover the story and goals of individuals experiencing extreme poverty or homelessness. We then send messages of encouragement to folks through the Samaritan app, and can even give a financial gift to help a person meet an immediate need.

So how can you get involved? Join the Kindness Collaborative Initiative! Then invite family members and friends, or even colleagues at work, to join you once a month in performing an act of kindness for an unhoused neighbor. The Samaritan app is a great starting point, but feel free to be creative! We like to take 10 minutes afterwards to share how the experience went.

Whatever you choose to do, shoot us a note at samaritancapitalfdn@gmail.com to let us know you're in. We'll follow up with you each month to hear how things are going.

"Sometimes just knowing that a random human being cares helps me to remember that I am not my situation. My situation is temporary." -Katherine

"Thank you for all of your generosity and kind words. I'm floored and overwhelmed by the kindness." -Ginger

"To know that there are strangers that are proud of me and want to support and encourage me is so motivating!" -Laura
