September 13th Dinner Meeting - The Financial Well-Being of Your Employees Can Drive Employee Engagement & Retention
|
Providing financial wellness training and tools was expected to be a key workplace trend for 2017, and new research findings show that to be the case.
The Society for Human Resource Management's (SHRM's) 2017 Employee Benefits survey report (forthcoming), based on a survey of SHRM members conducted earlier this year, found that more organizations are offering financial advice compared to 2016 and to five years ago.
"This benefit can help employees improve their financial management skills, plan how to manage debt, and hopefully alleviate stress and worry as a result," said SHRM researcher Tanya Mulvey, the survey project leader.
As of this year, nearly one-half (49%) of employers offer some type of financial advice, which included providing resource materials or referrals, online assessment and advice tools, and group instruction and one-on-one advice with a financial counselor.
Join us in September for a two-part presentation that will explore the importance of employee literacy education and benefit plan design that assist in recruiting and retaining employees. Click here for more information and to register.
