Additional Tips Examples of cross-referrals Spouse was engaged in health coaching; was also referred for child care help. An employee was actively engaged in health coaching, also beginning divorce proceedings. Health coach referred for legal and financial resources. An employee was facing challenges with an elderly parent; coach referred her for elder care support for her father. This additional help strengthens relationship between employee and coach and helps build trust and accountability; employee is more invested when he/she knows person on the line cares. 29 29 Q&A Jason Pagels Director of Business Development ComPsych 312-595-7460 jpagels@compsych.com Kathleen D Appolonia Senior Vice President, Workplace Solutions The PNC Financial Services Group 412-768-8404 kathleen.dappolonia@pnc.com 30 30 15
