National Employee Benefits Day, celebrated on April 4, 2016, is focused on helping employers increase their employees’ financial fitness. An upcoming Foundation survey, Financial Education for Today’s Workforce, finds that 81% of organizations say their employees’ personal financial issues are somewhat, very or extremely impactful on their overall job performance. And more than half of employers report an increasing number of employees face financial challenges compared with five years ago.

The Foundation has lots of resources to help you celebrate National Employee Benefits Day. Visit www.ifebp.org/benefitsday and you’ll find a communication tool kit filled with financial fitness tips, a checklist to benchmark your organization’s initiatives and more!
