Working with Yahara House

The benefits of being a TEP employment partner:

100% absence coverage, free of charge! Whenever the employee cannot come to work, one of the job coaches works the shift. This is one reason that the Wall Street Journal said that employers who participate in a TEP program are “doing a good deed that is also a good deal.”

 

Reduced training costs because of Yahara House’s on-the-job training and work to ensure performance standards are met. Job coaches choose the employees and coach them until they are performing up to expectations. Supported employees have the same expectations as other employees and are paid a comparable wage.

 

Solves unexpected turnover by providing pre-screened employees eager for the opportunities to work and supported by our professional staff. Every six to nine months the job coaches choose a new employee to train for the position.

 

Fill part-time needs with TEP positions that run from 4 to 30 hours per week on Monday through Friday, between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm.

​

“The Yahara House staff saves time and operating expenses of developing the job descriptions, training workers, coaching the workers and covering the shifts. There is no need for position advertising expenses, interviewing, reference checking, performance reviews, or supervision time taken.” – Journey Mental Health

The benefits of being a Supported Employment Partner:

 

A permanent, competitive solution to your employment needs.

  • Qualified employees who have often been successful in Transitional Employment Placements. They are pre-screened and eager to work.

  • Flexible scheduling with Yahara House staff supporting members in getting part-time or full-tine work on most schedules.

  • Job coaching is provided for the member when they start the job as needed until the member feels confident working independently.

 

Help someone achieve permanent competitive employment!

What our Employment Partners have to say:

“The employees that I have worked with bring a great deal of dependability, reliability, desire to do a good job, and capable experiences to the position. Thus far they are eager to be a part of the team. Being a part of a plan to offer employment opportunities for those wishing to rejoin the workforce has been a wonderful opportunity. Watching a person grow, redevelop self-confidence, experience self-worth, and be needed and appreciated is a tremendous reward.” – Journey Mental Health Center

 

 

“Yahara House has filled our hearts and community by working alongside team members who are kind, willing and dedicated to helping us shine. We are so grateful for the opportunity to grow our salon company with Yahara House as a partner.” – Union Hair Parlor

“Yahara House strives to meet our needs by taking time to understand the position so they can find the best applicant; working with our scheduling needs in establishing the duration of the TEP; working with new employees to help them learn the job and meet expectations; and frequently checking for feedback and offering support. We have had a great experience with the employees selected to work in our office. They’ve shared some great qualities: hard-working, frequently volunteering, reliable, punctual, attentive to detail, and grateful. In addition, through this program we have been able to have employees of all different ages, backgrounds, and life experiences, thus adding diversity to the office. The program does a lot of good helping people gain work experience, but moreover, it helps our organization provide quality service.” – Wisconsin State Assembly Testimonial

“Our experience with the Yahara House TEP program has been wonderful. They have been a true partner throughout the process. Our TEP employees take on administrative duties that save our pharmacy staff valuable time. The employees are consistently on time, friendly, and attentive. Whenever there are questions or concerns on my end, I feel comfortable bringing those concerns to the Yahara House job coaches assigned to our site and I am always pleased with the timely response that I receive. They understand the needs of our business and do their best to ensure that there is never a gap in performance, even when the TEP employee is unable to show up for work. We appreciate all that this program has offered us and look forward to working with them for years to come!” – Genoa Pharmacy

“We have had the pleasure of working with a variety of employees over the years and they have proven their reliability, are prompt and ready at the start of their shifts, eager to learn, and have a willingness to provide any assistance needed. As we are in a fast-paced environment, we greatly appreciate that the employees can work independently and diligently throughout the shifts. We are especially impressed by the role that YH coaches play, with regular check-ins to us and the employees and conducting personalized training for new employees. We appreciate that if we have any question or concern we can contact any of the coaches and always receive a quick response. Coaches and employees from Yahara House have built a great working relationship with Memorial Union Restaurants. We have worked with other organizations over the years and would highly recommend Yahara House above all.” – UW-Madison, Memorial Union
