Financial Wellness

1 in 4 employees are seriously financially distressed. On average, up to 80% of them spend time at work dealing with their personal financial issues, wasting anywhere from 12-20 hours per month.

Employee Financial Distress in the Workplace

Your workforce has likely never been more concerned about their financial futures than they are today. Many employees lack a basic understanding of money and some may be facing urgent financial problems like credit card debt or underwater mortgages. They also struggle to understand where employer-sponsored benefits fit into their financial plan and how to get the most from these valuable programs.

Those employees who have resolved to take control of their financial security, quickly find themselves overwhelmed by the sources and volume of information available. Employees are challenged to understand how the various pieces fit together into a cohesive plan, who they can trust and how to get started. By supporting employees in their quest for financial security, employers have much to gain in the form of productivity and cost savings.
