With the addition of these two organizations, we are expanding our reach to six employers - helping more individuals gain access to the tools and support they need to achieve financial stability.
The Financial Wellness at Work program offers employees confidential, one-on-one financial coaching, finanical literacy workshops, access to small-dollar loans, and practical guidance to build better money habits.
To date, the program has:
- Served 300+ individuals
- Funded 95 loans through TFed
- Created countless personalized budgets and savings plans
- Provided invaluable information on local resources to participants
By joining forces with BCL and CCI, we are excited to continue empowering employees with financial education and support that creates lasting impact.
Here are what participants are saying about Financial Wellness at Work:
"Sitting down with the Financial Wellness Coordinator, Dora, privately to go over financial goals makes me think of/look into things I normally wouldn't, like checking the percentage rates on your credit cards, etc. and how to saving more for the future by paying down the highest rate cards first."
"There hasn't been a subject that Dora has brought up that hasn't benefited me. The one I liked the most was her last workshop about our spending personalities/habits, and understanding more about how we spend, where we get those habits, and how to correct them, which was great!"
"What I find most helpful is Just being able to talk to someone about my financial struggles without judgement. It's a bit like therapy."
