ELKHART COUNTY, Ind. – Lacasa Inc. in Goshen is launching a new employee assistance program to help employers provide individualized financial coaching for employees.

The Lacasa Employee Assistance Program (LEAP) is designed to give participants virtual financial coaching with trained professionals, tailoring coaching sessions to the individual employee’s unique needs and addressing financial topics like reducing debt, improving credit scores and becoming a homeowner.

The organization said LEAP contributes to two major Lacasa goals: increasing financial stability in the community and funding Lacasa’s mission through a social enterprise model.

Lacasa also offers financial empowerment courses through their “Master It Series.”

LEAP’s pilot program begins this quarter with a few local businesses already signed up, but the program will officially be launched in summer 2021.

Business owners and HR professionals can learn more about the program by visiting their website or by contacting Sheila Sieradzki at [email protected] or at 574-533-4450.
