FPP Coalition April 2022 Virtual Session:
“How to Implement Financial Health and Wellness Programs in the Workplace”

Wednesday, April 20, 2022
2:00 p.m. – 3:15 p.m. Eastern

Convening in the FPP Coalition Zoom Room

Session Description:

What does it mean to have “workplace wellness?”

And, to what degree does workplace wellness include financial wellness?

Workplace wellness encompasses more than mental and physical benefits; a huge part of it includes the financial health of the team members employed by the organization.  Regardless of salary level, many employees serving through organizations are living paycheck-to-paycheck and do not have access to safe, affordable loan options if they need it, as Florida’s loan APR can be as high as 304%.

This largely unregulated loan structure in the state creates a cycle of debt for those who may be serving next to you in your employer organization.  Or, it could be you.

A lack of financial wellness in the workplace can negatively impact your organization and, ultimately, the community where you serve and live.

What is the solution?

Governments, Non-Profit Organizations and school districts can be trendsetters in innovation and help break this cycle by offering free financial wellness benefits.

Join this interactive virtual session to learn more about what the leading-edge government, academia and NPOs are doing to implement financial health and wellness programs in their workplace.
