Attract Top Talent With Superior Benefits – Employee Financial Wellness
As an employer, it’s easy to dismiss your employee’s financial wellness as a personal matter. If it affects business, however, then it becomes your business.
An annual PwC Employee Financial Wellness Survey found that 35% of employees are distracted at work due to financial matters. Additionally, a study by Fidelity Investments found that employees with high debt miss more work on average than those with minimal debt. To make matters worse, 45% of Baby Boomers have no retirement savings at all, according to a survey by the Insured Retirement Institute.
“Financial stress is at an all-time high, and it’s taking its toll in the workplace,” explained Jason Lane, Director of Retirement Plans. “When employees are this stressed about finances, it results in highly distracted workers, low productivity, increased use of sick days, and more.
Conversely, investing in employees’ financial health benefits employees and employers alike.
“For one, improving employees’ financial stability can improve the ROI on labor costs by lessening employees’ financial stress so that they can focus on their work, increasing their productivity and reduce absenteeism,” states a report by Ceridian. “It can also be a powerful tool for recruiting and retaining top talent, as employees are likely to place a high value on opportunities to improve their financial stability, health, and overall wellness.”
An attractive benefits package – complete with financial education and support – is an excellent way to win over your industry’s top talent, especially while many businesses are struggling to hire workers in the wake of the pandemic.
“A great way to stand out and remain competitive is to offer a superior benefits package, especially if increasing pay isn’t an option right now,” Jason explained. “The advantage of financial education and support should not be underestimated.”
