Financial Wellness: Overcoming the Ills of Company-Sponsored Programs

Presented by Chris Thixton, QPA, QKC, of Pension Consultants, Inc. Springfield, MO

Financial insecurity and stress are wreaking havoc on workers. It affects their mental and physical health, as well as their working lives, in numerous and detrimental ways. In today's workplace, financial wellness is essential for both employee well-being and productivity. Financial Wellness  examines the disconnect between employer-led financial wellness programs and the actual financial health of employees, shedding light on common pitfalls and often overlooked elements. This presentation challenges the status quo by introducing a new approach that prioritizes outcomes over activities. Attendees will gain the knowledge and tools needed to create a financially secure, healthy, and productive workforce

Learning Objectives:

1. Uncover essentials that set effective financial wellness programs apart.

2. Understand psychological and behavioral aspects for employee success. 

3. Be cost effective and deliver needed results without expending unnecessary time and money.

4. Prioritize outcomes over activity to provide genuine financial wellbeing to employees.
