The silent crisis

There's a productivity killer sitting quietly in your workforce.

  • 2–5 yrs

    Silent contemplation phase, followed by 1–3 years navigating the process — largely undisclosed at work.

  • 40–60%

    Productivity drop in year one. Over 160 hours lost to absenteeism and presenteeism per employee.

  • 10–20%

    Leave within 12 months. Experience and institutional knowledge walks out with them.

  • $300B+

    The estimated US annual cost of relationship stress to employers, through lost productivity, absenteeism, and health costs. Separation and divorce are its most acute form.

Beyond EAP

Where Standard EAPs end, we begin.

We're built for high stakes, high impact life transition. The handful of moments each year when an employee's life event can quietly erase a quarter of productivity. Those moments need depth, not a hotline.

What specialized coaching delivers, for your people and your business.

  • Experts, not generalists

    Every coach is credentialed and deeply experienced in the specific transition they support. Your employee is matched to the right expert on day one, and that same coach stays with them through the full chapter. No call centers. No script trees. No starting over.

  • Preparation, not reaction

    transitions overwhelm people because they unfold reactively. Coaching changes the order, preparing your employee in advance with what to ask, what to gather, what to expect, and what to decide. Steady hands replace fog.

  • A real partner across the chapter

    Specialized coaching isn't a single conversation. It's a relationship that spans the months, sometimes years, these transitions actually take. Someone in their corner who knows their story and keeps them grounded as the next chapter unfolds.

  • Confidential by design

    K-anonymity at the platform level. Employers never learn which individuals use support. Zero stigma, zero surveillance.

  • Automated reporting for HR

    Engagement, program efficacy, and productivity recovery signals, aggregated and anonymized. Not a ticket log.

  • Manager support built in

    Frees managers from absorbing the emotional and workload fallout. Managers get the tools, language, and guidance to support the employee with confidence, not improvisation.

When your people thrive, your business thrives. That's the entire point.
The platform

Three pillars, one outcome: the crisis doesn't cost you the employee.

  • Human connection

    Accredited coaching

    A vetted network of expert 1:1 coaches. Practical guidance on parenting, finances, legal process, communication, and next steps. Steady emotional support through the highest-stress windows.

  • On-demand empowerment

    AI-enabled platform

    24/7 access for the entire workforce. Guided workflows that reduce overwhelm. A secure, organized space for the documents and decisions that matter. Self-paced resources that extend coaching.

  • Organizational oversight

    Corp. intelligence

    Anonymous engagement reporting. Employee feedback at aggregate. Manager-ready materials. Confidential and compliant by construction — never at the level of the individual.

The cost of inaction

50 employees in transition = $3.3M quietly gone.

Across a 5,000-person organization, ~1% of your workforce is navigating a relationship transition at any moment. The hard cost lands in productivity, management burden, and the replacement bill when they leave.

  • 50%
    Productivity protection

    Recovery of lost output through early support.

  • $1.25M
    Net value returned

    Per 50-employee cohort, annually.

  • 300%
    First-year ROI

    Modeled against program investment.

Modeled from published productivity-loss research. Calibrated to your workforce size, burdened salary, and retention baseline on request.

Life-event support at work: common questions

What is a major life event (or life transition) employee benefit?

A life-event navigation benefit is employer-sponsored support for the disruptive personal transitions that temporarily reduce an employee's capacity to work: divorce and separation, bereavement and estate administration, eldercare, and pet loss. WeNavigateLife delivers it through three layers: 1:1 expert coaching, an AI-enabled self-serve platform available to the whole workforce, and anonymized reporting for HR. Unlike caregiving-only benefits, it covers the emotionally driven transitions that traditional benefits and EAPs tend to miss.

How is this different from an EAP (Employee Assistance Program)?

An EAP is built for breadth and brief intervention: a hotline, a few counselling sessions, broad coverage. A life-event navigation benefit is built for depth on high-impact transitions. With WeNavigateLife, an employee is matched on day one to a coach credentialed in their specific situation, and that coach stays with them through the full chapter. It is designed to begin where standard EAPs end, in the handful of moments each year when a single life event can erase a meaningful share of an employee's annual productivity.

What life events does WeNavigateLife cover?

The program covers divorce and separation, bereavement and estate administration, eldercare and long-term care, and pet loss, with additional transitions on the roadmap. Each is supported by coaches credentialed in that specific area, alongside self-serve tools and confidential, aggregate reporting for the employer.

Is the support confidential? Can the employer see who uses it?

Yes, it is confidential by design. WeNavigateLife uses k-anonymity at the platform level: employers receive only aggregated, anonymized engagement and efficacy reporting and never learn which individuals used support. This removes the stigma that otherwise keeps employees from using sensitive benefits in the first place.

What is the ROI of a life-event navigation benefit?

At any moment, roughly one percent of a workforce is navigating a major relationship transition, with costs landing in lost productivity, management burden, and turnover. WeNavigateLife models a first-year ROI on the order of 300 percent, calibrated to an employer's headcount, burdened salary, and retention baseline. The return comes from recovering output that would otherwise be lost and from retaining experienced staff who might otherwise leave.

What size of company is this designed for?

WeNavigateLife is built for mid-to-large employers, typically organizations of 1,000 or more employees, where at any given time a predictable share of the workforce is navigating a high-impact life transition. The aggregate cost at that scale is what makes a dedicated program economically worthwhile.
