Determining what is important to your employees and our clients are of paramount importance, but unlike most counseling agencies that provide a listening ear and maybe a directory of service providers, Life Compass believes in partnering with your employees and our clients as we actively assist with removing the barriers causing your employee(s) headache and heartache.  We do the leg work for your employees so they concentrate on the job/task at hand.  Life Compass boasts a wide range of services and employs experts in many fields to address the needs and concerns of our clients.  Our solution plans are comprehensive and in most cases they don’t require the client (employee) to spend anymore money than is currently being spent to live a life they wish they could change or enhance.

Life Compass ensures the client’s anonymity, as we provide an atmosphere where employees can speak up on personal matters ranging from financial crisis to money management and from relationship blues to lifestyle aspirations. Counseling for employees involves interaction on psychological, lifestyle and financial aspects. It becomes particularly crucial in an environment where a company is dealing with a very young workforce with high aspirations.  Industry observers feel that for many employees, who are fresh out of college, the lure of a swanky lifestyle supported by a neat salary package provides a lethal mix for financial disaster. These employees most often run up huge debts, due to the inability to manage their finances coupled with the influence of “Madison Avenue”.

For years employer policy has been… leave your problems at the door when you come to work, but unfortunately for both employee and employer that policy is involuntarily ignored by human nature. Men and Women in the world of work today are experiencing pressure from changing times…; most are stuck in a debt-trap or suffering emotional anguish associated with lifestyle deprivation.  Employees are now able to get their personal and financial problems addressed, with Life Compass!  Our company can advise and guide your workforce in the area of Lifestyle Design.  Americans’ attitude toward debt has changed dramatically in the past two decades, from embarrassment to acceptance. Many people now see debt as simply part of modern life. Two results of this change of heart are the lowest personal savings rate since the Great Depression—in January 2006 it dropped to minus 0.7 percent—and a penchant for using credit cards. More than half of workers surveyed by the Employment Benefit Research Institute for its "2005 Retirement Confidence Survey" say they carry credit card debt month-to-month.

Despite its social acceptability, debt problems cause stress and anxiety that zap workers’ productivity, induce health problems and increase the likelihood they will leave a job in search of better pay.  Employees are absent more frequently and waste time at work dealing with financial matters—on the telephone with creditors, trying to get a loan from their 401k and etcetera.  Employees who are deeply stressed financially may not be as effective as their more secure counterparts. They may have more accidents, or they may be more susceptible to theft or bribery.  When wage earners of any stripe are facing difficult choices their judgment could be impaired. Wage earners, especially men, will take extraordinary risks to protect and provide for their families.  America has a system that elevates the risk for people to make ends meet and people who are caught up in this are merely responding in a predictable way.   The one sided financial relationships that’s been created by collusion between all manner of financial institutions and government has had a broad impact upon wage earners and has demonstrably harmed the country’s middle class and America’s businesses alike. What the principals have failed to appreciate all along is the working class men and women of this country represent the goose that lays the golden eggs. Basically, the principals have harmed the goose without much thought or care for the idea or fact that employees aren’t an unlimited resource.  In the simplest of terms, desperate people, seeking only the fundamentals, will do whatever is necessary to provide for their families, they will fight or flight.
We look forward to the opportunity to meet with you and your most valuable resources
