Employees facing less financial stress and distractions; employers benefitting from a more focused, engaged and productive workforce —financial wellness programs for employees can help them find balance and control over their financial picture, now and throughout their lifetime.
Improving employees’ financial wellness can lead to heathier employees, reduce absenteeism and lower turnover rates, while raising employee satisfaction and improving the employer brand.
However, for financial wellness programs to be successful they need to do more than just provide education, they need to result in employees taking appropriate actions that lead to financial success.
Helping Employees Throughout Their Lives
Mercer’s approach to employee financial wellness focuses on engaging employees throughout their lives, with a focus on financial management and responsibility. The objective is to help employees reach their financial goals for every stage of their “financial lives,” whether it’s saving for a house, a car, college or retirement.
"Anyone who makes a living wage can attain financial wellness through a combination of smarter benefit designs, better tools, and appropriate guidance."
Organizations have every reason to want their employees to financial well-being. An effectively designed employee financial wellness program can help employers:
Having a clear understanding of the business benefits of financial wellness, integrated within the overall employee financial wellness and HR talent/acquisition strategy, ensures corporate commitment and is key to a successful financial wellness program.
"A financial wellness program that really works is one that speaks to different members of your workforce in a way that resonates with each and every individual resulting in a highly customized financial experience."
