POV: You’re Helping Someone Thrive at Work

You show up to work knowing your job is to help someone else succeed at theirs.

You’ll support an individual at their place of employment by providing guidance, encouragement, and just the right amount of support to help them confidently navigate their workday. You might help them learn new tasks, understand workplace routines, communicate with coworkers, stay organized, or problem-solve when something doesn’t go as planned.

Support—not take over. You’ll encourage independence, build confidence, and gradually help the individual do more on their own while respecting their role as an employee.

Other days, you’ll help work through a challenge. You’re there to help them succeed at doing it themselves.

You'll use your personal vehicle to transport the individual you support. Mileage for approved work-related travel is reimbursed at the current IRS rate.
