Benefits managers are encouraged to consider a holistic approach to financial wellness for employees, addressing their diverse needs beyond retirement.
Employees face various financial challenges such as debt, budgeting, and saving, highlighting the importance of accessible resources and support from benefits teams.
Providing practical financial guidance and resources like budgeting tools and debt assistance can empower employees to improve their financial habits and overall well-being.
Personalized financial sessions and tailored support can help employees address specific challenges and work towards achieving their financial goals.
Whole-body health and well-being are crucial considerations for benefits managers, with an impact on engagement, productivity, and organizational competitiveness.
Employers can offer programs like Lifestyle Spending Accounts to support employees' health and wellness needs, potentially reducing health care costs and absenteeism.
Planning for healthcare costs in retirement is essential, with tools like Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) being promoted to help employees save for future medical expenses.
Overall financial wellness involves managing finances for both short- and long-term goals, with employers playing a vital role in providing resources to empower employees' financial decisions and well-being.
