For Employers

A paycheck doesn’t guarantee financial health. But you can close the gap.

You know financially healthy employees improve your business. Yet there’s a gap between having a paycheck and having money. Delivering financial health means helping employees manage their finances and prepare for the future, so they can be their best selves.

People aren’t dumb. The world is hard.

This quote, from Nobel Prize-winning behavioral economist Richard Thaler, is a rallying cry at Brightside.

Having financially sick employees hurts your business.
