OneDigital New England Transformative Series: Importance of Financial Wellbeing

When looking at workforce statistics gathered before the pandemic, it’s clear that most employees already needed financial advice and guidance. And now, it’s even more critical than ever before. 

With so many employees not saving enough for retirement, increasing debt, and a general shift in demographics, the financial industry has been focusing more on improving the overall financial health of the workforce. This is critical to improving retirement outcomes - if employees don’t have enough money to meet their monthly expenses and pay off their debts, they will likely not be able to prioritize saving for their future. They will also see the impacts of that financial stress on their health and, in turn, their attendance and productivity at work. Tune into our latest Transformative Series webinars for a panel discussion around financial wellbeing and discover:

• The impact of financial instability on your bottom line
• Observations about your organization through an interactive activity
• What should you be doing during and post-pandemic to communicate and engage a workforce distracted by financial instability
