Vision, Mission & Activities
BIWC Vision
To have a presence in businesses and organizations of every province as the preferred solution
in mental health illness prevention in the Canadian workplace.
BIWC Mission
To provide chaplains in the workplace to build authentic relationships and avoid poor mental
health. We bring engaging and skilled chaplains ready to walk forward with all Canadian
workers and their families. Whatever matters most to them, our chaplains help them make It
Better.
What we offer
Because we understand that your workers are more than just employees - they have families
and loved ones who matter to them - we offer a range of services designed to meet employees
where it matters, including:
- Personalized Support: We believe in building organic, authentic, personal relationships with each employee. Our chaplains take the time to listen, understand, have catalytic coaching conversations, and provide the support your employees need to tackle any challenge.
- Equal Care: We provide better care for every employee equally, regardless of their background, ethnicity, language, orientation, or creed. Our chaplains are committed to being non-judgmental, inclusive, respectful, and supportive of all employees and their families.
- Long-Term Partnership: We understand that personal growth takes time, and that's why we're committed to being there for your employees every step of the way. We serve as a trusted partner, eager to see IT go their way and foster personal growth that will benefit all aspects of their lives - both at work and the rest of life. With our personalized support, equal care, and long-term partnership, your employees can become better at work, improve their well-being, and thrive both personally and professionally.
- Whole Household Care: We provide better care by being available to your employees' entire household. Every family is unique, but we're here for whoever matters to your employees, no matter what IT looks like. Our chaplains are trained to support and care for the whole household, not just individual employees.
- Timely Support: We know that sometimes IT cannot wait, so we're available offsite, by phone, or online to meet the need. Our chaplains are always ready to provide timely support whenever and wherever it's needed.
- Referral Network: No matter what IT is, we're there to partner with you and your employees. If we can't solve the issue, rest assured that we know someone in their community who can. We pride ourselves on having the best referrals so that no matter what IT is, reprieve is just a conversation away. IT is always better when you don’t have to face IT alone.
