Employee financial stress is already costing your organization money. This series shows you where it lands, how to find it in data you already have, and what to do about it.
Most organizations never connect the dots. Financial stress does not appear on an HR report with its own name, so it hides inside absenteeism, presenteeism, turnover, healthcare spend, and benefits nobody uses. Ten short videos, built for HR directors, benefits managers, and the executives who approve the budget.

2. Employee Mental Health and Money: The 74% Problem
Why mental health benefits treat the symptom while the cause keeps running.

7. The Emergency Savings Employee Benefit Gap
Why one car repair turns into a 401(k) loan, a payday advance, or a resignation.
8. Employee Healthcare Costs: The Financial Stress Link
