Finfit’s new counseling benefit connects employees to advisers who can help them with a variety of monetary needs.

The move is expected to prevent fund leakage through opt-out rollovers when workers leave a job, industry experts say.

Text messages, mobile apps and videos are all methods brokers can use to get — and keep — employees attention during open enrollment and beyond.

The tool includes more than 200 training courses for advisers’ clients.

The food service giant has invested $90 million toward improving benefits, wages and training and development for employees.

As the role of the adviser evolves, education programs are expanding beyond traditional offerings to focus more on human capital management.
