“The workplace is one of the most important engines for generating individual wealth and financial security. Not only is it the place where people get paid, it’s also where employees are accustomed to engaging in employer-sponsored benefit programs that affect financial health, such as insurance and retirement. And while most companies have traditionally focused on benefits for higher-income workers, we’re seeing a trend of employers seeking out benefits that provide value to hourly workers as well.” – SaverLife President & CEO Leigh Phillips.
“Employer-sponsored financial wellness programs play a crucial role in the financial health of employees. By equipping their workforce with tools and insights on personal finance, employees can help make better financial decisions. We feel financial wellness programs such as SaverLife Solutions can help workers achieve the foundational elements of financial security, including managing day-to-day finances, achieving important financial goals, and protecting against key financial risks.” – Kimberly Ostrowski, VP of corporate social responsibility at Prudential.
