While setting financial resolutions may not seem as popular as goals like exercising or learning a new skill, helping your employees prioritize their financial well-being can set them up for long-term success. According to our research, the majority of people are primarily saving in the long-term for retirement (71%), an unknown emergency (53%), and simply because it’s the right thing to do (45%).
With so much of 2025 still ahead of us, it’s not too late to revisit your benefits education strategy and ensure employees are engaged. While often overlooked, workplace benefits are a powerful way to help your employees take advantage of their financial future, and in turn help your company recruit, retain and motivate talent. Our research shows that workplace benefits are a key driver of employee satisfaction and retention: 89% of employees would feel more invested in staying at their company if it provided financial benefits that meet specific needs, and 94% of employers consider re-evaluating their financial benefits package to be a priority this year.
