And employees who are stressed about money often bring their worries to work, which leads to decreased productivity. Annually, employers report $250 billion in losses due to stressed employees.2 And while only 20% of employers offer financial wellness programs, the good news is that 8 in 10 workers are highly receptive to them.3 When you implement PlanSmart Financial Wellness, you can help employees become more financially confident, and reap big benefits for your organization:
Increased employee satisfaction, productivity and engagement
Increased 401K contributions and decreased withdrawals
Fewer medical and disability claims, and decreased absenteeism
While 80% of employees want financial planning workshops or tools, only 20% of employers offer these today.1
Starting with a personalized diagnostic, PlanSmart Financial Wellness can help your employees achieve a variety of financial goals like paying down debt, buying a home or saving for retirement.
Gives employees control to take action the way they want: online, in person or over the phone.
Employees receive best-in-class, independent financial counseling from industry leaders to stay the course and achieve their goals.
With a holistic, confidential view of their financial situation — that includes workplace benefits — PlanSmart Financial Wellness helps drive benefit program participation and employee engagement.
Whether they’re millennials, pre-retirees or somewhere in between, PlanSmart Financial Wellness helps employees take actions towards bridging their financial needs for today and tomorrow, planning for the unexpected, and maximizing the value of benefits.
