(WASHINGTON, D.C.) April 15, 2024 — In coordination with our partner networks and generously supported by the National Endowment for Financial Education,  America Saves at Work, a program of America Saves, has launched the Financial Wellness Tool Kit. The first-of-its-kind resource kit supports employers as they discern what financial wellness benefits they want to offer to their employees and how to implement such a program.

The employer support and education section of the tool kit includes research and case studies about financial wellness in the workplace, insights on using surveys to determine specific financial needs of a workforce, guidelines on measuring ROI and impact and much more. 
The employee resource section of the tool kit includes a menu of items that employers can use to communicate with their employees about their financial wellness benefits. Employers can use these resources in their generic form or customize the resource for their organization’s workforce.  Topics include credit, debt management, investment basics, online calculators and more.  
To receive complimentary access to The Financial Wellness Tool Kit, organizations need to be members of the ASAW Network. You can sign up for the ASAW Network here.
For those already members of the ASAW Network, simply login to your portal to gain access.
ASAW is a network of employers, benefit providers, payroll, human resources, government agencies and more, all who have a vested interest in the offering of simple, sustainable and effective workplace saving programs that meet the unique needs of employees.  Using this network, ASAW’s mission is to help develop a financially healthy and confident workforce.
