About EMPOWER WORK INC Location: 63 DELMAR ST, SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94117, US Mission Statement Empower Work is on a mission to create healthy workplaces where employees are valued, supported, and empowered. We provide support for challenging work situations through trained peer counselors, accessible via web chat or text. Our goal is to help people navigate tricky work questions or tough work problems and come to an outcome they feel comfortable with. Description Empower Work started in 2017 with the question, "why wasn't there an accessible resource for tough work questions?" What if every person could get help when they experienced a microaggression or feared being fired or had exciting job offers to choose from but couldn't make a decision? How would that change someone's economic opportunity? Empower Work is the first anonymous, immediate, third-party support that puts the employee first. We envision a world where every person can have an accessible advocate to support their professional journey and equip them with the skills to successfully handle complex work challenges.
