Alliance Work Partners

What Alliance Work Partners does

Alliance Work Partners (AWP) is an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provider headquartered in Austin, Texas, operating since 1977 as a division of Workers Assistance Program, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. AWP delivers solution-focused counseling, crisis intervention, professional development training, legal and financial assistance, wellness coaching, mediation, and drug-free workplace program support to employer organizations and the employees and household family members they cover. Services are delivered through a 24/7 in-house crisis call center (average 26-second wait, under 2% abandonment rate), interactive webinars, and a nationwide hand-picked network of licensed counselors with minimum three years post-license experience and $1M/$3M malpractice coverage.

The platform backbone includes Help Net (a customized EAP website with resources, skill-building tools, online assessments, and referrals), a Member Portal (registration-code-secured employee access), and a Provider Portal (for network clinicians to apply, submit claims, and verify payment). AWP operates with 51-100 employees and reports 96% annual customer renewal, 98% client reuse intent, and 97% issue resolution, positioning it as a high-touch, client-centered service rather than a self-serve technology product.

AWP sells to public and private employer organizations with more than 250 employees on a quote-based annual subscription. Distribution runs through direct enterprise sales, a broker/benefits consultant channel offering 5% or Net commissions, and an inbound quote form. Independence from any insurance carrier is a stated differentiator, allowing AWP to make decisions based solely on client interests. Revenue is not disclosed.
