Our mission to support employers’ ability to retain valuable employees by leveraging community resources that result in economic prosperity for businesses and workers.

Interest in Sector Work: WorkLife is a catalyst to bring change to how employers do business. We serve as a launch point for which employers begin thinking about how their company can be more socially responsible- specifically to their own people. We are the only organization of its kind in Colorado, and with that title have instituted a change in how employers think about and serve their workers. In regards to the manufacturing sector, WorkLife is part of the many organizations that will be brought together under a new manufacturing intermediary in Colorado to better serve manufactures and their employees.
