Some people may think of financial freedom as the ability to purchase necessities without concern, while others may think of it as the ability to avoid credit card debt or enjoy retirement without worry. For the nearly 80 percent of Americans who live paycheck to paycheck, financial freedom may feel hopelessly out of reach. That’s why it’s important for businesses to empower employees with the information they need to figure out a path to financial freedom. Join Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan for a free, hour-long webinar, “Financial Wellness at Work: Why It Matters to Your Employees,” on Thursday, December 6, at 12 pm EST. Led by Certified Financial Planner Jeff Rubleski and Christina Hix, director of specialty benefits at Blue Cross, the webinar will teach business leaders and HR professionals methods for helping their employees prepare for a financially-stable future. According to a 2018 survey, 30 percent of Americans say they are constantly stressed about their finances. This, coupled with the fact that 71 percent of people do not have personal access to an extra $1,000 in case of emergency, shows how big the need is for personal finance education. Financial distress can impact businesses by reducing productivity and creating high turnover, making it vital for employers to educate their employees.
