Financial Wellness brings your employees a new aspect of health: financial wellness—a truly meaningful element for your employee benefits package.
Employees have other financial concerns, too, like saving for college, getting out of debt and buying a house. These worries may add to the cost of running your business, due to lower productivity, absenteeism and higher healthcare costs. According to one study, these costs can boost your expense line by up to 24%.
Our Financial Wellness Programs help employees deal with their financial concerns. With access to tools and trusted professionals, they can address their financial concerns and interact with a professional advisor who provides independent advice which means employees gain confidence to make more informed financial decisions.
Financial worries may be keeping your employees up at night and distracted during the workday. How (or even if) they will be able to retire is one common concern—many employees know they are unprepared for retirement,but don’t know what to do about it. They want and need help.
Using a holistic approach, financial wellness benefits provide customized solutions based on your specific population.
