Emergency Savings: Suze Orman on the Future of Financial Wellness Programs
Reimagine the key to employee financial security. The pandemic demonstrated the need for employees to have both short-term and long-term savings. Forty percent of Americans can’t cover an unplanned $400 expense, and short-term money matters stress out employees more than anything else, reducing productivity and causing distractions at work, leading to huge costs for employers. Helping employees build emergency savings is an essential and highly impactful solution to these problems. On top of that, emergency savings programs are seeing high participation with 45% adoption and 98% retention. Join the conversation with Suze Orman and Devin Miller to learn about the impact of emergency savings accounts and how to reimagine financial wellness programs for employees.
