Employees who feel overwhelmed by taking care of life’s many details or who don’t have the time can take advantage of a benefit program coordinated by the University’s Human Resources Department. This benefit is available to full- and part-time permanent staff and faculty employees.

ComPsych Guidance Resources is UNC Charlotte’s provider for a variety of employee resources. The company’s work-life specialists will conduct research, provide referrals and customize resources for a number of topics including but not limited to:

  • Summer camps
  • Child/elder care
  • College planning
  • Home repair
  • Major life purchases
  • Moving and relocation
  • Pet care
  • Vacation planning

At the ComPsych Guidance Resources website, employees will find information on a variety of issues. There are timely articles, videos, self-assessments and an “ask the expert” feature to get personal responses to individual inquiries.

Resources on child/elder care, financial planning or about health and wellness issues also can be found. ComPsych provides financial and legal resources with access to certified public accountants and attorneys who are available for telephone consultations, too.

ComPsych Guidance Resources is more than the University’s Employee Assistance Program provider. Call 877-603-8259 or go to the organization’s website (use company Web ID: UNCC). After creating a login and password, employees can view “Understanding Your Guidance Resources Program” for more information on resources offered.
