Long story short: Your employees are stressed about money — here’s how to help

John Hancock’s annual Stress, Finances and Wellness report revealed that 71% of those surveyed have experienced stress, depression and loneliness in the past year, with 58% reporting that finances are the cause of their stress. In fact, respondents named economic conditions, retirement savings and credit card debt as their top three worries.

John Hancock found that of those who reported finances as a cause of stress, 87% have major debt, 73% have households that earn less than $50,000 a year and 72% are younger than 36 years old. Associate editor Deanna Cuadra took a closer look at the survey, and explored what employees need when it comes to financial assistance from their employers.
