Workplace Financial Wellness

Financial wellness benefits are essential for the overall well-being of your employees and your business. Nearly all employees – a whopping 92% – say they are stressed about their personal finances.* That stress spills over into the workplace by leading employees to lose over a day of productive work every week.*

Financial Wellness Team

Your employees look to you to provide a healthy mix of benefits, including financial wellness benefits that go beyond retirement savings plans and health savings accounts. Some of their most requested financial benefits include help with building an emergency savings fund, debt management services, and homeownership services.

Budget Cents by SAFE Credit Union provides real-world personal finance insights to teenagers and young adults using an engaging budgeting simulation. Participants work within a certain budget to figure out just how much they can spend a month on housing, food, transportation, and incidentals without running out of funds. The Budget Cents program stands out for reflecting the current cost of living in the Greater Sacramento region, so participants obtain a genuine scope of the financial decisions they'll make as adults.

Check out the Budget Cents page to learn more about this program or bring Budget Cents to your school!
