Technology Driven Employee BenefitsFinancial Wellbeing Programs are expanding beyond the early stages of topics from prior years.  Financial wellness programs are now incorporating a focus well beyond retirement preparedness.

As financial wellbeing programs expand, the process of measuring the outcomes for such plans becomes significantly more complicated.  Fortunately, the 2022 EBRI Financial Wellbeing Employer Survey conducts some of the heavy lifting for plan sponsors who want to measure the effectiveness of their own financial wellbeing program.

  • Data;
  • Privacy; and
  • Complexity.
