This document summarizes a presentation by HelloWallet on helping companies design employee total rewards programs centered around employee behavior and financial wellness. It discusses how most programs don't account for employee choices, perceptions and habits regarding benefits. It also notes that employees often lack financial confidence and readiness. The presentation advocates for financial guidance and budgeting tools to improve employee prosperity and readiness for consumer-driven benefits. It shares one company's experience finding that employees primarily want help saving small extra amounts first before investment advice.
