NuVantage Partners with Minnesota Council of Nonprofits

Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota (LSS) is proud to partner with the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits (MCN) offering NuVantage Employee Resource services to MCN member organizations. NuVantage Employee Resource is a high-quality, high-touch Employee Assistance Program (EAP).

Employees are your most valuable asset. As a nonprofit organization, helping your employees maintain their health and wellness better equips them to serve your organization’s mission.

An EAP is a benefits program employers offer their employees to help them cope with personal struggles that could hinder their health, well-being or work performance.

A strong EAP can:

• Improve employee morale
• Increase employee productivity
• Reduce absenteeism and employee turnover
• Reduce employee grievances.
