On December 8, GuideSpark presented a webinar called “The Need for Financial Wellness”. In this webinar we discussed how poor financial health is affecting companies and their employees. The webinar was well attended and definitely shows that financial wellness is becoming an important issue at corporations across America. In fact, the following poll shows that most attendees believed that 26-50% of employees are being negatively affected by financial issues.
In an upcoming Webcast, financial wellness experts from GuideSpark will discuss the increasing need for employers to address employee financial education and health – while realizing a return on investment of over 3:1.
Poor employee financial health is having a negative impact on organizational objectives and productivity. Four out of five employees in financial distress spend time at work dealing with such financial issues – resulting in a 12 to 20 hour drain on productivity – each month.
