Moreover, as a family-owned certified B Corporation, you'll actively engage with our broader community, with a strong focus on enhancing employee satisfaction and fostering community engagement. Join us on our journey not only to create exceptional food but also to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our employees and the communities we serve. As an Employee Support Coordinator, you will play a critical role in providing on-site, wraparound support services to employees across all three shifts, ensuring equitable access to resources, guidance, and support regardless of work schedule. In this position, you will build relationships with employees through regular visibility and engagement on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd shift, meeting individually with employees to assess needs, connect them with available resources, and provide coaching and support related to personal and professional challenges. Success in this role requires building trust with employees and community partners, maintaining a strong presence across the organization, and ensuring that support services are accessible to all employees, including those working non-traditional hours. You will also help foster a culture of safety, well-being, and belonging by facilitating access to external programs, supporting employee resource groups, and developing internal initiatives that holistically support employees both at work and in their personal lives.

Provide immediate support and referrals in crisis situations, such as mental health emergencies, housing instability, and other urgent needs. This may include accompanying employees to appointments or community resources. Facilitate individual and group support conversations for employees experiencing personal challenges. Maintain accurate records of employee interactions and resource utilization, using data to identify trends, evaluate program effectiveness, and improve support offerings while ensuring compliance with privacy requirements. Prepare and deliver quarterly reports to Leadership that summarize resource utilization, emerging employee needs, program outcomes, and recommendations for ongoing support initiatives. Conduct training sessions and workshops on topics such as mental health first aid, stress management, financial wellness, and accessing community resources. Support employee-led resource groups, including Rhinos for Recovery, by coordinating activities, connecting participants with resources, and fostering a culture of inclusion and belonging. Partner with the People & Culture team, supervisors and managers to address employee concerns, strengthen workplace culture, and align support services with organizational goals. Regularly and proactively communicate with employees about available resources and programs using various channels, including Paylocity, the information wall, weekly scrolling slides, emails, and in-person meetings. Effectively utilize translation services to communicate with employees who have limited English proficiency, ensuring all employees have access to necessary information and resources. Promote awareness and utilization of available resources through regular communication, outreach, and education across all shifts and locations. Requirements What you'll need to succeed: Bachelor’s degree in Social Work, Human Services, Psychology, or a related field preferred. 3 years of experience in a role providing direct support to individuals, such as social work, counseling, or employee assistance.
