Wisdom and Wealth
A financial wellness initiative for business owners who want to educate employees about their 401(k) or 403(b) benefits and personal finance.
Encouraging employees to make the most of their retirement plan benefits is harder than it seems. Often pressing, immediate financial needs take priority over long-term retirement savings. Employees may need guidance on budgeting, managing debt, establishing emergency savings, tackling student loan obligations, or any number of other personal finance topics hindering their ability to save for retirement effectively. It’s challenging for business owners and HR teams to find the time and resources to educate employees on these topics and communicate the benefits of their retirement plan effectively.
That’s why we created “Wisdom and Wealth.”
Every month, this short newsletter delivers insights into retirement savings and practical personal finance tips in a simple and easily digestible format.
Financial stress in the workplace can cause distractions, decreased productivity, increased absenteeism, and increased healthcare costs. A recent Employer Financial Wellness survey from PwC* reported that 57% of employees say finances are the top cause of stress in their lives. The survey cited negative impacts on sleep, mental health, self-esteem, physical health, and relationships at home resulting from financial stress.
Business owners and HR teams can provide education to help alleviate some of this stress by simply passing the content on to their employees. Employees benefit from quickly learning simple, actionable steps they can take to maximize their retirement plan benefits and improve their financial lives.
When paired with a comprehensive educational strategy, which may include integrating a repository of brief educational videos, interactive in-person or virtual sessions, and access to a team of retirement plan advisors to address questions promptly, your employees could be well on their way toward a more secure financial future!
