According to a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwc.com\/us\/en\/services\/consulting\/workforce-of-the-future\/library\/employee-financial-wellness-survey.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">financial wellness survey from PwC in 2021<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, almost two-thirds of employees in the US said that their financial stress has increased since the start of the pandemic, and these employees are four times as likely to have experienced a decrease in overall household income and find it difficult to meet household expenses on time each month.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Across the pond in the UK, things are just as grim. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloombergquint.com\/global-economics\/u-k-households-financial-stress-rising-debt-firm-lowell-says\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bloomberg Quint reports<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that UK household financial stress is rising, and John Pears, CEO of Lowell UK, a debt collection firm, explained that:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCommunities are less financially resilient than before the pandemic. That has only continued to rise this year, with Lowell seeing further growth in credit use as government support has slipped away.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spillover effects of financial worries\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given the mind-body connection, it\u2019s no surprise that employees\u2019 financial worries can\u2019t be viewed in isolation. It can impact employees\u2019 mental health, increasing absenteeism and presenteeism at work, and also their physical health. Through a loss of productivity and\/or a rise in turnover rate, and increased costs associated with group health insurance usage, employees\u2019 financial worries can have an impact on your bottom line.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So much so that many employers are now redefining how they view health. It\u2019s no longer just an absence of physical illness, but a much broader definition taking into account physical, mental, and financial aspects. Likewise, employee benefits packages will also need to reflect this holistic approach to health and wellbeing as outlined in our free-to-download <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/corporate\/global-employee-benefits-trends-2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Global Employee Benefits Trends Report 2021.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4 tech-related financial wellness benefits to offer\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that we understand that employees\u2019 financial wellness is on the rise, the impact it has on employers, and the evolution of employee benefits packages, let\u2019s look specifically at some examples of tech-related financial wellness benefits that you can offer your employees. Particularly for the younger, tech-savvy generation, the use of technology can increase employee engagement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Round-the-clock access to financial knowledge<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of offering training courses to help employees understand how to manage their money, why not use technology platforms? This gives employees (and their family members) round-the-clock access to relevant and unbiased financial knowledge, and is also more cost-effective for employers who have a large workforce. What&#8217;s more, training courses delivered via technology platforms also give employees privacy that public workshops or presentations can\u2019t.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Personalised, AI-driven financial planning tools<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once employees have the required financial knowledge, they can take ownership of their financial planning, which involves budgeting and setting short-, medium-, and long-term goals. Digital tools that can track spending, manage debt, and build savings can be incredibly useful in this regard. In fact, those that are powered by AI can even create personalized road maps by analysing employees\u2019 financial data and factors like age or life goals and creating realistic milestones for spending, debt payment, automated investing, and savings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Emergency funds that can easily be tapped into<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite employees\u2019 financial planning and their best efforts, emergency funds for one-off large payments may still be required. To ensure that employees don\u2019t have to seek out high-interest loans to dip into their retirement savings, employers can provide emergency funds that employees can easily tap into and pay back from their paychecks. While this is strictly not tech-related, the process of tapping into the funds can be simplified and automated to reduce the paperwork and red tape.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Virtual consultations via employee assistance programs (EAPs)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To supplement digital platforms, tools, and emergency funds, providing human support also remains essential. From a live chat option to a virtual consultation with an expert, employees can reach out if they have more complex financial questions. If and when things get tough, providing counselling and crisis support via Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) also goes a long way in ensuring that employees remain in a healthy state of mind and commit to making long-term behavioural changes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For all things employee benefits, get in touch with Pacific Prime UK today!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether or not you already have financial wellbeing as part of your employee benefits package, you\u2019re more than welcome to get in touch with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pacific Prime UK<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
