• Benefits
  • Insurance benefits
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Employee wellness
  • Employee discounts and opportunities
  • Worker's compensation
  • Student loan forgiveness program
• Certification verification / licensure

By bringing these services together, the Employee Services team becomes the one-stop shop for most employee-related needs once a staff member is hired and in our system. The goal of this new department is to create a more seamless, efficient experience for Olathe Public Schools staff, offering improved customer service and unified support by bringing all employee resources under one unified department.
