For many HR professionals, determining which financial wellness benefits will best meet the needs of your entire workforce is a guessing game. Employees are reluctant to discuss financial stress and ask for benefits that lighten the load … even when they need them. Consequently, culling through the hundreds of financial wellness options in the market to determine which solutions will deliver the most impact for employees can often feel like a guessing game. In this session, Salary Finance Inc. CEO Daniel Macklin and industry thought-leaders from PwC, Salesforce, and Accenture will discuss the biggest financial challenges facing today’s employees and the ways in which employers can help.
