HR Leadership & Solutions

 During a time of challenging health and a decline of my claim by my benefits provider at work, I was very overwhelmed. The overwhelm was further impacting my health. After too many emails with my benefits provider, I reached out to Lynn. Within a one hour meeting, Lynn was able to take my very overwhelming situation and give me a plan of action. She helped me understand what communication my employer needed from me, information my benefits provider required, and she explained the EI application process. With Lynn’s help I was able to focus on my wellness, helping me get back to work faster.

 Like a lot of employees lately, I recently arrived at work to a surprise layoff notice. After the meeting with my employer, and a good cry, I reached out to Lynn. Lynn helped me understand the layoff process, the best way to focus my efforts, how to apply for EI and plan for the next stages in my career. Lynn was the calm in the storm, supporting me to separate out all of my emotions about the layoff decision and helping me focus on how I can move forward and get back to working quickly. She helped me see the opportunity in the big change and I am now in the process of starting my own small business. I bounced back faster from this big change with Lynn’s help. I am so grateful that I reached out to Lynn when I did, she gave me to knowledge and confidence I needed to not only put myself back out there but to start my own business and my own opportunities.
