Your Goals
Do you want to improve employee productivity? Do you want to reduce employee turnover? Do you want to reduce employee stress?
If so, you should be using every cost-effective tool in your toolbox to ensure that happens. And one of the ways you can do that is by offering your employees a financial wellness benefit. This benefit should include a platform offering financial education and money management tools that are unaffiliated with the sale of any financial products.
Your Employees’ Concerns
This is as important today as ever. Because today’s workforce is stressed about money. They’re spending an average of 8 hours a week on personal finance tasks and at least 4 of those hours are at work.
But with a good financial wellness platform that employees actually use, research shows you can reduce at least one hour a week that your employees are spending on personal financial management. When you do the ROI calculation on this, it’s no wonder employers are interested. (Keep an eye out for an upcoming post that dives into the ROI data! You’ll be amazed.)
But what’s more, employees love it when employers offer this! It makes them feel seen, it makes them feel like the company has a people-centric culture. And it’s probably why 77% of employees say a financial wellness offering is an important benefit to them.
The time to enhance your benefits package is now
Despite significant growth in this HR benefit category, still only about a quarter (28%) of employers offer this. If you’re interested in offering this benefit, check out the MoneySwell promo video (don’t worry, it’s only 80 seconds)!
