9 in 10 U.S. workers struggle with basic needs

With just 30% of Americans considered financially healthy, financial illness is the biggest unaddressed employee cost today for employers with frontline workforces. It adds 30% to healthcare costs, as the largest social determinant of health.

When you help financially ill employees, you’ll lower healthcare costs, improve retention and productivity, and see more impact from your investments in other benefits. But you’ll only see those results with Brightside Financial Care.

Financial wellness isn’t meant for daily financial struggles

Financially ill employees struggle with basic costs such as food, healthcare, housing,  and transportation. They have urgent needs and face complex challenges that cannot be solved by CFP-led financial planning or one-size-fits-all financial education. 

Financially ill employees need real solutions from someone on their side, who won’t judge their situation and won’t make money from their choices. That’s Financial Care.
