Overview

The Financial Wellness at Work Program embeds trained United Way coordinators in the workplace to meet individually with employees to provide confidential coaching, year-long workshops, and access to resources to enable employees to make informed money decisions and take better control of their finances.

In collaboration with area businesses, the program offers:

  • One-on-one coaching, crisis management, and resource identification for employees.
  • Workshops that outline healthy financial habits and provide access to services that help families build wealth.
  • Low-cost, small-dollar loans through a local credit union to address short-term cash flow challenges and establish a credit rating.

Financial Wellness coordinators are embedded in the workplace to meet individually with employees and connect them with available community resources, such as:

  • Personal finance management 
  • Housing, including eviction and foreclosure prevention services 
  • Legal services
  • Health care
  • Education and training 
  • Transportation
  • Utility assistance, including heating assistance programs
  • Childcare and eldercare

Coordinators will have regular hours at each site in a designated space to provide confidentiality. They are well-trained in making referrals and have developed working relationships with resource providers in the community.

Financial Wellness at Work programming by United Way is available at the following companies:

Financial Wellness at Work is made possible, in part, by a grant from the FINRA Investor Education Foundation through a partnership with United Way Worldwide.
