Resources for State Agencies

Use this page to help your employees make the most of their benefits by sending them to an Uplift Your Benefits workshop. 

Oregon has one of the toughest job markets for retaining good employees. More and more studies show that one of the keys to retaining good employees is offering a great benefits package. Our job at Uplift Oregon is to make sure that new hires at the State of Oregon understand how to make the most of their incredible benefits. When employees feel confident that they are getting the most out of their benefits, they are more likely to see the full value of being an employee. 

We are happy to partner with your agency to offer Uplift Your Benefits, a two-hour workshop to help new hires make the most of their benefits. The workshop is required for employees represented by SEIU and AFSCME. 

The workshop schedule:

  • Every Tuesday from 1:00pm – 3:00pm
  • Every Wednesday from 8:00am – 10:00am
  • Every Thursday from 10:00am – 12:00pm
  • Every Friday from 8:00am – 10:00am
