About BetterIt Workplace Chaplains
Why every workplace needs more than an EAP
Recent studies, government reports, and independent research show a clear picture:
- 1 in 5 North American employees faces mental health struggles each year
- 32 % of Canadians are at high risk, and another 43 % are at moderate risk
- 30 % of all Canadian disability claims are tied to mental health
These challenges don’t stay at home — they walk through the office door every day. Yet even though 90 % of companies offer an Employee and Family Assistance Program (EFAP), only about 11 % of Canadian employees actually use it.
In short: the need is huge, but the support people are offered isn’t reaching them.
The millennial reality
(and the opportunity)
Millennials already make up more than half of Canada’s
workforce and will represent over 75 % by 2025.
They value:
79 % — Family
53 % — Health & wellness
39 % — Friends
31 % — Spirituality
27 % — Career
They’re looking for workplaces that care about the
whole person — not just the job title.
Does this actually affect the bottom line?
Absolutely. When employees feel supported, productivity rises, absenteeism drops, and retention improves.
Traditional EFAPs already show solid ROI — and workplace chaplaincy is delivering even stronger results.
At BetterIt, our chaplains see 40–85 % engagement from the people they serve.
That’s not just numbers on a page — that’s real conversations, real support, and real transformation
happening inside Canadian workplaces every single week.
Workplace chaplaincy: the human solution built for real life
Whatever “it” is — stress, family pressures, grief, burnout, a big win at home,
or a tough season at work — our chaplains are there. Face-to-face. Confidential. Non-judgmental.
Ready to listen and walk alongside each employee so they can BetterIt.
Because when people feel truly cared for, they show up stronger — for their families, their teams, and their work.
