Top Five Reasons to Offer Employees First@Work
Ready to talk to an expert?
Did you know that 78% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck? And only 40% of Americans have sufficient savings to cover a financial emergency of $1000 or more? Imagine the stress that money issues like those might cause, and what that stress can do to employee productivity. According to a study by the American Institute of Stress of over 800,000 workers in over 300 companies, the number of employees calling in sick tripled in a four-year period and an estimated 1 million workers are absent every day due to stress.
It doesn’t have to be that way. In order to help alleviate some of that stress, First Bank offers businesses a financial wellness program called First@Work. This program provides them with education and an exclusive suite of products, discounts, and unique services.
