Employer Update

The ripples from financial stress can spread across all aspects of a person’s life, negatively affecting self-esteem, relationships and work. The 2022 PwC Employee Financial Wellness Survey found that employees are six times more likely to say that financial stress majorly impacts their productivity at work. Numerous studies have shown that increasing financial confidence among workers is the key to reducing stress and boosting productivity.

America Saves Week (February 27-March 3) presents an opportunity for employees to do a check-in on their finances over five days. By the end of the week, they’ll have addressed: short-term and long-term saving goals (such as an emergency fund and retirement), the best strategies for saving successfully (saving automatically and reducing debt), and how to have healthy conversations and instill positive financial behaviors with their family.
