Summary

Employee financial wellness programs (EFWPs) are gaining in popularity as a strategy to address workers' financial challenges and goals beyond offering health and retirement benefits. Most workers say they are stressed about their finances¹ and a third are less productive at work because of this stress.² Although employers are increasingly interested in offering EFWPs, little research has been conducted concerning these workplace financial products and services.
