Whether you are a new employee or an employee who has been with the company for a long time, you can be sure that there are many benefits to being an employee with Spectrum. These benefits include Employee assistance programs, employee retirement plans, free counseling, information, and referrals, and a variety of broadband services.

Employee assistance programs
PG&E’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is available free of charge to employees and their dependents. This confidential counseling service provides referrals and support. The EAP is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Employee assistance programs are intended to improve the health and performance of employees. They address a variety of issues such as family problems, financial issues, stress, and general mental health. They can also help employees maintain focus and productivity at work.
Companies that use an EAP often see improvements in workplace morale. Employee engagement at work increased by 8 percent. Using an EAP also contributed to fewer missed work hours.
Full range of broadband services
Whether you are looking for an advanced broadband service or simply need to keep in touch with the world around you, Spectrum is here to help. This company offers high-speed internet, home phone service, and TV services to consumers across the country.
Unlike most broadband providers, Spectrum doesn’t lock customers into a long-term contract. They offer a variety of options, and even allow customers to save up to $10 per month by bundling their services. In fact, they offer a 30-day money-back guarantee.
The company also invests in customer service. For instance, Spectrum offers free installation for the first year. They also offer a suite of security software.
Employee intranet and password protected areas
Using an employee intranet can make employee onboarding easier. This tool simplifies the process by allowing employees to access important information and forms on the intranet, such as payroll. It also improves employee engagement.
Employee intranets also allow employees to work in small groups and share knowledge with peers. These groups can be set up to share information, work, or analysis. It’s a great way to promote employee communication and build a strong corporate culture.
Security is also important to an intranet. A firewall is used to keep malicious traffic out of the intranet, as well as prevent unauthorized access. To access the intranet, employees must be connected to the company’s LAN (local area network). A virtual private network (VPN) is used to access the intranet from offsite.
Community Assist
Earlier this year, Charter Communications announced the launch of its $30 million philanthropic initiative, Spectrum Community Assist. This program will benefit local organizations that provide job training services for low-income communities. The initiative will provide financial support and new technology for job training programs. The company plans to invest $5 million in-kind contributions to improve 100 community centers. Spectrum will also donate 25 new laptops to support these organizations’ training programs.
Spectrum Community Assist has already invested in job training programs for low-income communities in 19 cities. The initiative has impacted 6,000 participants across the company’s 41-state service area. By 2021, the program will serve 50,000 participants.
Free counseling, information, and referrals
Providing free counseling to students is not the only way to ensure a healthy and safe learning environment. If you’re a UBalt student, you can take advantage of a comprehensive Student Assistance Program that provides mental health, wellness, and counseling services, as well as referrals to other community services. Whether you are interested in getting out of your shell or just need some guidance to take the next step in your life, UBalt’s student services staff are happy to help.
The University of Michigan has a Spectrum center that offers a wide variety of information, education, and advocacy services. The center is located in the Student Center building and it is the best place to go if you want to learn about how to keep yourself safe while on campus.
