INTRODUCING FINANCIAL CARE
Financial Care is more than financial wellness.
With clear incentives to take responsibility for employees’ financial health, what is stopping employers from doing so? To date, it’s been the complete lack of safe and effective options.
Financial Care Drives Real ROI
Retention
When employees love their benefits, they want to stick around. Employees who engage with Brightside are 41% less likely to leave, according to our research. Imagine the impact: SHRM estimates the cost of replacing an employee to be over 50% of their salary!
Healthcare Costs
Financial strain is the single most important factor in making healthcare decisions for low-income individuals. In fact, if financially strained individuals utilized healthcare at the rate of the most affluent, overall spending could decrease by as much as 30%.
DE&I
Providing financial care supports DEI initiatives across the board. In fact, financial wellbeing is so intertwined with these issues, implementing a DEI strategy that doesn’t include holistic financial care solutions will struggle to make any impact at all.
