Introduction
There is a sea change in how employers are delivering financial education to their employees. It began when the industry redefined what the goal of financial education should be. Financial education should lead to financial wellness for workers. Financial wellness is a more holistic goal that aims to cover all of the relevant areas of an individual’s financial health, including not only retirement planning, investments, and insurance, but also credit/debt, and budgeting/cash flow as well. In this module, we examine why traditional forms of financial education have not been effective, and how the industry is changing the messages and methods of delivery to encourage financial success.
