Questions about pensions, financial planning, budgeting and retirement are causing a flurry of questions in many Human Resource Departments. For example, an aging workforce of baby-boomers counting on many years of investing in the stock market and lack of growth in 401(k) accounts and mutual funds has created concerns about whether they are financially prepared to retire. By establishing a relationship as a Select Employer Group (SEG) with RCU, we will be able to help your organization, and its employees, with those very concerns.
Human Resource executives are experiencing a tough time offering cost-effective and meaningful employee rewards programs during a time when health care costs continue to rise and employer contributions to under-funded pensions shrink even more. While many corporations are asking employees to do more with less and offering few, if any, pay increases, they are also asking employees to contribute a greater percentage toward their own medical insurance coverage. In addition, convenience benefits (developed to attract and retain talent) offered by many corporations in the 1990s are disappearing.
When employees worry about their financial matters, they carry those direct costs to their employer. According to a Virginia Tech Study, "Personal Finances and Worker Productivity," an employee who is stressed about money matters costs employers an average of $400 annually. This is primarily due to work time wasted and absenteeism. This same study states that 15% of employees are so worried about financial matters that productivity is negatively impacted.
