The Link Between Employee Productivity, Health and Financial Stress

Financial wellness isn’t just good for your employees; it’s good for your company. Experts are showing direct links between financial wellness programs and cost savings!1 While financial wellness programs may have started out as a feel-good benefit, they have quickly become important for employee well-being and a great retention tool that has a much-needed impact on the bottom line.

Did you know2:

● 40% of job turnover is due to stress.

● Healthcare expenditures are nearly 50% greater for workers who report high levels of stress which can increase healthcare costs by about $400 per stressed employee annually.
