When looking for ways to retain employees, keep them happy, and recruit top talent, more businesses are turning to financial wellness solutions.

Even prior to the Coronavirus pandemic, employees were stressed about their finances. Studies show that 69% of workers are stressed about money and financial issues. Furthermore, 72% of them worry about their personal finances even as they work. This is a sobering statistic, especially when you consider the impact of this anxiety to the overall productivity, engagement, and happiness of your entire workforce. 

Adopting financial wellness solutions is a growing trend in the workplace and for good reasons. The positive impact financial wellness can have on your people includes greater productivity, increased adoption of benefits, and improved employee engagement. Plus, employees are asking for it. According to PwC, one in four employees said they want a financial wellness program with an unbiased counselor. 

With diverse employee interests, experiences, and goals, looking for a financial wellness solution that meets the many financial needs of your employees can be challenging. When you are shopping around for a solution, a solid financial wellness plan should include a combination of education, personalization, digital ease, and real-life financial support. 

BrightPlan’s difference is that it tailors financial wellness programs to each individual while also covering all employees.
