Denver Health Case Study
Denver Health began partnering with WorkLife Partnership in 2016 because they needed a confidential resource for their employees that also complemented their current benefit offerings.
The Problem
Denver Health employees were struggling to overcome multiple life challenges, including financial instability, childcare concerns, and unreliable transportation. With all of this in mind, Denver Health sought an HR partner that would help support a holistic wellness program that not only addressed the unique needs their employees, but also provided a resource for their HR team and leadership to leverage when employees came to them in need of support.
The Solution
Denver Health integrated WorkLife’s Resource Navigator service into their wellness program so that their employees receive access to the support and resources they need to achieve long-term, whole-person wellness.

Denver Health Has Also Seen
Positive Change to Work/Life Culture
Because Denver Health employees have a dedicated resource to help them overcome personal challenges, they are less stressed at work—which means they are also more engaged in providing positive patient experiences and improving their work relationships.
Increased Company Loyalty
Denver Health employees have reported significant impact to their work life after working with our Resource Navigators. This has built stronger company loyalty among teams.
Relief for Managers
A Navigator’s support saves Denver Health managers valuable time. Managers can now refer employees to a Resource Navigator, trusting that their teams will get the help they need when they need it.
Improved Financial Health
WorkLife allowed Denver Health to better understand the challenges their employees were facing which prompted them to launch—in partnership with WorkLife—a Small Dollar Loan program that helps employees struggling with unaffordable or unexpected expenses.
“Providing our employees with access to WorkLife Navigators and services has been one of our most valuable and well-utilized employee well-being initiatives during these very difficult last few years. If you have a goal you’re working towards or a problem you’re trying to solve, WorkLife Navigators can help. When I refer an employee to WorkLife, I know they’re in great hands. WorkLife’s willingness to understand our organization’s unique culture, needs, and challenges has been instrumental in providing employees with the specific support they need to thrive both at work and outside of work.”
