When it comes to financial planning many of us could use some good advice. According to an article in The Wall Street Journal many companies are beginning to offer personal finance counseling as part of their voluntary benefits package. Previously, most companies had done little more than distribute informational brochures and post tips and tools on their websites. In recent years many employers have begun providing workers with access to personalized services like one-on-one counseling and in-depth seminars provided by professional advisory firms.
This type of benefit is an excellent perk for workers who don’t have the time or expertise to fully understand their financial options. With the slow economy making life difficult for many workers, human resource administrators can assist their employees by offering a program for personal finance advice. PerkSpot has plans to enhance our employee discount programs and voluntary benefits platforms with services similar to this in the near future.
