“More Than Just Counseling:” KBR Employee Support Program Helps Workers Achieve Total Well-being
KBR is often known as the team behind the warrior — the ones behind the scenes helping our customers to achieve their mission. But who supports us?
As a part of KBR’s Zero Harm values, the company takes pride in its people and its uncompromising commitment to quality of life, health and safety for all, both at work and at home. Powered by Workplace Options, an independent provider of well-being solutions, KBR’s new employee support program (ESP) was carefully chosen to aid those who help KBR thrive in the first place — you.
What is the ESP?
KBR’s ESP is a free, confidential service available for employees that provides useful information and practical support on a wide range of work and personal issues. A team of highly trained and qualified professionals who are experts in numerous fields, such as well-being, family matters, relationships, debt management, employment issues and consumer rights, staff the program. You can be confident that the information you receive is accurate, up to date and relevant to your particular circumstances.
“It is so much more than just counseling. There is individualized help. Try the website — you will be amazed at the resources.”
BETHANY SPURRIER, KBR DIRECTOR OF GLOBAL BENEFITS
The ESP can support you through difficult times if you need extra support, feel alone or would simply like an independent ear. It can also save you precious time and legwork when dealing with everyday practical issues, such as finances. Overall, using the ESP could help reduce stress and anxiety, improve your well-being, and free you up to focus on other things.
Is it really free?
Yes, KBR pays for the service. You won’t have to pay for any information or support you receive directly from the ESP.
Is it really confidential?
Yes, it is. When you contact the ESP, the only information required from you is the name of your employer. Your employer will receive utilization statistics on the number of people using the ESP, but no personal identifying information will be disclosed.
How do I access the ESP?
There are plenty of ways to contact the ESP. It is available via a free 800 phone number, email, instant messaging, SMS texting and online. You can contact the program 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. To access it, visit resourcesforyourlife.com and enter “KBR” as the password.
Will I speak with a “real” person?
When you contact the ESP, you will always get through to a live consultant who can help you immediately.
Do you give advice?
The ESP does not offer advice, which is based on opinion, but can provide you with all the information you need to be able to make informed decisions to help you with your current situation.
How often can I use the service?
You can use the service as many times as you want to. There is no limit.
Do I have to be in crisis to use the ESP?
Absolutely not. We recognize there is a lot to juggle on a day-to-day basis, and sometimes we could all use some extra support to help us manage life’s everyday challenges. That said, we can help you if you find yourself in a crisis or distressing situation.
What kinds of things can the ESP provide support for?
You can contact the ESP for support on anything that matters to you. Examples include managing stress, disability and illness, personal development, bereavement, divorce, bullying, workplace issues, education, childcare, health and wellness, debt and money, community resources, and more.
