Bill Rogers: Our studies show about 46% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. We know that companies can play a significant role in advancing financial wellness for all. We worked with industry experts to develop a financial wellness program, and quite frankly, the results astounded us.
Signe Garnitz: The response we've gotten has really been exciting. We initially got involved in the program to provide tools and opportunities for employees.
Clarence Smith: We offered it to the whole team, about 150 people. We had 90% of the people come to the kickoff sessions.
David Yeend: I had never been offered anything like this from an employer before. Made me feel like they cared.
Amanda Warner: For someone like me that doesn't actually understand finance in any way, shape, or form, it was just smart ideas that made sense to me.
Valerie Anonyuo: I have one savings account and everything goes in there. The program helped me to separate accounts. That was something, I think, that was new to me.
Yimeka Robbins: You think you know everything about finance, or at least I did. I thought I knew everything, and there were certain things I didn't know, how to invest, how to look for a good mortgage when you're buying a house.
Signe Garnitz: Funnily enough, my husband is in this line of work. Yet, we have never sat down and talked about the values that drive the choices we make and how we spend our money.
Clarence Smith: I would be stopped in the hall by employees that have been with us for 15 years and say, "This is the most important thing that the company has ever done for me." It was really kind of overwhelming. We were kind of blown away by it.
