Financial wellness resources: Ways to help employees become financially healthy

When it comes to the financial wellbeing of your employees, it is important to consider a whole plethora of things.

Not only are you concerned about overall financial wellness, but you may wonder how employees are being supported in varying life stages. As a comprehensive financial wellbeing resource, Your Money Line has considered the needs of each individual and has a solution to help. 

Self-paced courses and specific stage-of-life guides

Have you ever had a question about your finances, and you wanted a reliable answer right then without having to wait? Have you ever dreaded watching a financial course because it always seems to be so dry and dull?

Have you avoided starting a course because you “didn't have time”? Yeah, us too! That's why we created financial courses that are quick, witty, and to the point and available 24 hours a day 7 days a week!

Not only do we have topic-based courses that cover topics from paying off debt and budgeting, but we also have age-based courses.

These courses will help learners feel confident learning about different financial milestones they can expect around their age. They also include financial wellness tips to better prepare for a stable financial future.

Our dashboard also includes self-guided learning paths for those who learn better by reading the material. They will find hundreds of articles and blog posts to guide them through some of life's most complicated financial situations.

One-on-one financial coaching 

Personal finance is personal. While general information is essential and can help build financial literacy and provide individuals with financial wellness tips, it’s still crucial for your employees to receive one-on-one individualized guidance highlighting the importance of individual financial well-being.

Our Financial Guides are all nationally certified by organizations leading the nation in financial education.

Through a non-judgmental and confidential approach, everyone can feel comfortable that they are going to be met where they are and provided the best financial resources available. Financial guides are available 12 hours a day from 7:00-7:00 EST to accommodate the different time constraints your employees face.

Online account integration 

New to Your Money Line is a financial health assessment tool to help your employees get their eyes on all their financial accounts in one place. It can be hard to have a comprehensive view of your finances when you have a million different accounts with different platforms.

This is why we have brought YML+ as an offering to you to help your employees get to their financial goals faster.

This technology allows them to have a comprehensive view, and through AI integration, they will receive nudges to help keep their finances front of mind. This can help reduce financial stress because they have another set of eyes on their budget at all times. They will also receive suggestions based on their financial goals and preferences.

Quick, reliable, and consistent answers through text messages and online chat 

We get it; it can be uncomfortable to talk to a stranger about some of your most intimate financial details. We are using innovative technology to remove barriers to communication so your employees can get the answers they deserve.

On each individualized dashboard, participants can chat with a trained professional financial guide about any question they may have. Not only will they be able to express their concerns and get answers, but they will be provided with real-time links to financial well-being resources to help them move forward.

Now, because we like to be a little extra sometimes, we have also enabled a new feature for our plus participants to allow them more convenient access to our financial guides via text message. That's right, a financial expert literally in your back pocket, ready to answer your financial questions.

Stability Academy 

Stability Academy is a unique community here at Your Money Line that groups individuals in similar financial situations and enables them to gain more excellent financial stability through monthly pep rallies.

We often see financial advice being given out strictly on age and assumed financial health. We know this approach is simply lacking by making some big assumptions, and we all know what it means to assume!

While we do offer age-based courses we have also developed a proprietary tool to measure one's financial stability.

You can then learn with those experiencing similar financial events as you are, regardless of age, income, or family status!

As financial professionals, we are passionate about your current financial stability as well as your long-term stability.

‍

Financial calculators and tools

Financial well-being resources can take on many forms, as we’ve already explored. Numbers don’t lie, and while they aren’t the end-all-be-all, they should be considered when creating a financial strategy.

Our proprietary financial calculators and tools help individuals assess their financial health in a unique way so they get a comprehensive view of what they are doing and the powerful changes they are making.

‍

Interactive workshops and webinars

Ready to boost your team’s financial knowledge? Consider adding interactive workshops and webinars to your financial wellness program. These live sessions cover crucial topics—think budgeting, retirement savings, and debt management.

They offer a dynamic platform for employees to engage directly with financial experts, ask real-time questions, and deepen their understanding of personal finances.

This approach enriches their educational resources and steers them toward financial freedom. Engage, learn, and empower—every session brings your team one step closer to mastering their finances.

‍

Financial wellness challenges

Why not kickstart financial security in your workplace with financial wellness challenges?

These initiatives encourage employees to adopt healthier financial behaviors—like saving a set amount each month, cutting down on non-essential spending, or diving into financial education courses.

Easy to join and rewarding to complete, these challenges leverage fun competition and practical rewards. They enhance knowledge and motivate employees to regularly check their credit reports and tap into other resources.

‍

Customized financial planning

Every employee's financial journey is unique. That's where Your Money Line shines, offering customized financial planning tailored to individual needs. This personal approach aligns with each employee's goals, priorities, and specific financial circumstances.

By focusing on unique month-to-month finances, Your Money Line helps buffer against potential financial shocks. This personalized guidance ensures that every plan isn't just a plan, but a pathway to greater financial stability.

‍

Wellness program integration

Integrating financial wellness resources into your existing employee wellness program offers numerous benefits. Addressing financial health alongside physical and mental well-being helps you to create a more comprehensive approach to overall wellness.

Employees gain valuable tools to navigate financial shocks and enjoy life without the stress of day-to-day money worries.

As we celebrate Financial Literacy Month, it's the perfect time to bolster your wellness program with resources that promote financial stability and empower employees to thrive holistically.

‍

Feedback and continuous improvement

Gathering feedback from employees about their experiences with financial wellness resources is crucial. It provides valuable insights into their needs and challenges.

At Your Money Line, we value this input immensely as it guides us in tailoring our offerings to better support them on their financial journey.

Listening to feedback enables us to identify areas for improvement and make adjustments to ensure our resources remain relevant and effective. This commitment to continuous improvement ensures that employees receive the best possible support on their journey to financial well-being.

‍

Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) enhancement

Enhancing existing Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) with dedicated financial wellness resources can be invaluable for providing comprehensive support to employees.

Addressing financial stress alongside traditional EAP support can help employees navigate common questions and overcome financial shocks more effectively.

By integrating these resources, companies can offer a more holistic approach to employee assistance, promoting overall well-being.

‍

Peer support networks

Establishing peer support networks or forums allows employees to connect with colleagues facing similar financial challenges. These platforms foster a sense of community, provide mutual support, and facilitate knowledge sharing.

Employees can exchange tips, resources, and experiences, creating a supportive environment for learning and growth.

Engaging with peers allows individuals to feel less isolated in their financial journey and gain valuable insights from shared experiences. This in turn strengthens workplace relationships and promotes a culture of support and collaboration.

‍

Executive buy-in and leadership support

Executive buy-in and leadership support are vital for the success of a financial wellness program because their endorsement lends credibility and resources to the initiative. Here are some strategies to gain their support:

• Conduct research to demonstrate the benefits of financial wellness programs.
• Show how these services can save the company money in the long run by reducing employee stress and absenteeism.
• Align the program with organizational goals, emphasizing how it contributes to employee satisfaction and productivity.
• Highlight the importance of managing financial stress for overall employee well-being.

With executive sponsorship, the program can thrive and positively impact the entire organization.
