Did you know that financial stress is the number one concern of American employees and that the average employee spends 28 hours each month worried about, calculating, or stressed over finances? This costs employers on average $5,000 a year in lost productivity. You can change this with the help of America Saves.

Our first-time worker program provides a spot light on the importance of saving and saving automatically through work, through a short video presented at orientation. The video supports two immediate action steps. Following the video employees:

• make a saving commitment by identifying a savings goal and a dollar amount to be saved out of each paycheck
• sign up for direct deposit.  Partner financial institutions are providing appropriate accounts to un-banked employees.

Step 1: Download the information packet (or learn more about the program - would take them to a page that outlines the program)

Step 2: Sign up to implement the program

Step 3: Implement your program (We can send them an email after they sign up with a private link to a page with the video and other downloads)
