Podcast Notes-
In 2021, Justworks launched 'Just Be Well,' which focuses on four aspects of employee health for the Justworks team. They want employees to be healthy, happy and engaged so they can continue to grow with Justworks.
-
There are four areas of focus with Just Be well: mental health, physical health, healthy work habits, and social well-being.
-
The Financial Gym benefits fall under the social well-being category. It started with Finance Fridays and webinars and expanded to include Trainer-on-Demand this fall.
-
Employees can turn to The Financial Gym Trainers for answers to questions without worrying about feeling judgment or shame. They can talk about navigating a budget, student loans, saving, or any other financial-related questions.
-
Conor personally finds a lot of value in the service. There are little 'aha' moments while talking through finances with a Certified Trainer.
-
Employee wellness is critical in running a successful business. Thinking about money and budgeting can be stressful. Having a trainer to work through questions with is an amazing employee perk. The goal is to empower people and give them the tools to be successful financially.
-
For people looking for work, employee benefits are a huge aspect of a compensation package. Financial Wellness is only going to become more important over the next few years and helping employees in this part of their life can be transformative. Employee benefits are changing and evolving and will continue to in the next few years.
