    Financial Wellness
    by: Jean Duffy, Cap Trust Advisors

    Medical expenses, credit card debt, the cost of education, and saving for retirement top the list of financial challenges for American workers today. A recent SHRM study on financial wellness in the workplace revealed that seven out of 10 HR professionals indicated that personal financial challenges have a meaningful impact on overall employee performance. This stress can lead to employee absenteeism, lost productivity, and health issues.

    Despite their popularity, many plan sponsors express concerns about a number of obstacles to offering a wellness program, such as lack of time, resources, and budget.

    CAPTRUST’s Jean Duffy will discuss employee financial wellness, covering the basics, such as:

    1. What exactly is financial wellness?

    2. What are the pillars of an effective financial wellness program?

    3. How can employee financial wellness be measured?
