According to PwC's 2020 Employee Financial Wellness Survey, employees were asked what causes them the most stress, and most cited that financial matters were their top concern. Why is an employee wellness program important? Having financially sound employees has various benefits for corporates such as increase of productivity as employees aren't distracted by their financial worries, increase employee engagement and health, and more.
