Companies say financially stressed workers call in sick more often and may be delaying retirement. In 2013, 76% of employers said they were interested in financial-wellness programs, according to a survey by Aon Hewitt. Last year, 93% of companies said they were planning to create or expand their efforts.

Why Employers provide financial education & wellness:

• To gain the most from existing benefit plans
• Employees become less stressed about their financial health resulting in:
  • Increased productivity
  • Reduced absenteeism
  • Reduced turnover
  • Higher engagement and job satisfaction
  • Fewer requests for pay increases
  • Lowered healthcare costs
• It’s a “no cost” extra benefit
