Help your employees start taking steps toward a financially secure future today

Will your employees’ retirement outlast their savings?Whether someone is 25 or 55, it is vital to seriously consider a proper saving plan to allow for a comfortable and financially secure life after retirement. We understand it can be tempting to put saving for retirement on the back burner when there are other top-of-mind financial concerns like paying down existing debt, lack of emergency savings and inability to meet monthly expenses. But the longer your employees put off planning for your future, the farther they will fall behind. It’s never too late to start! |

To be financially ready to retire, employees should SAVE ABOUT 11 TIMES their pre-retirement salary by age 65.*

Why should employers care?
A key component of achieving financial wellness in the workplace is making sure your employees are financially prepared to retire. Employers have begun to focus on employee financial wellness to better understand the barriers employees face in saving for retirement. If employees aren’t able to tackle their short-term goals (i.e., pay down debt, establish emergency savings, afford healthcare), they won’t be able to start to think about retirement.
Your employees may not be speaking up and requesting help, but they need a financial well-being program that does more than offer online retirement income calculators or sessions with investment specialists. Employees need a financial well-being program that helps them improve their ability to live within a budget, reduce debt and save for the future.
Helping employees improve their retirement readiness can also help mitigate the projected economic costs to your business. Our article, Is Delayed Retirement Impacting Your Bottom Line?, reports that employers spend more than $50,000 per employee each year an employee delays retirement. A workforce that is financially unprepared to retire can impact businesses in a wide variety of ways, including potentially higher labor costs, increased health care premiums and lower productivity due to financial stress.
