DEI
Back to the “E” in DEI
It should be clear by now that benefits like healthcare and even employer-matched retirement plans don’t benefit all employees equally. Historical wealth disparities, magnified by the pandemic, have left a greater need than ever to address financial health and offer support on that front. But beyond a clear ROI, providing financial care supports DEI initiatives across the board. In fact, financial wellbeing is so intertwined with these issues, implementing a DEI strategy that doesn’t include holistic financial care solutions will struggle to make any impact at all.

Carmen's Story
Carmen and her husband were saving up $6,000 for their son’s immigration costs but Carmen had trouble sticking to a savings plan. She admitted to having a spending problem and used shopping as a way to cope with anxiety. She had taken on a part time job to pay down her credit card debt of $3,000 but when her car broke down, she did not know what options she had to pay for the repairs.
“10/10 for the way they treated me as a client and the clarity in the information they provide.”
—Carmen, a Brightside User
