A majority of employees in the US now have concerns about financial issues and a growing number have serious money problems. Financial distress contributes to employee performance problems, absence, health issues, disability leave complications and turnover. These distressed workers are also reaching out to their employers for direction and support. This presentation uses a review of the research literature and two employer case studies to bring to light this contemporary problem, delineate the risks it poses to employees and employers, and review what leading companies are doing to respond to their workers.
