In 2021, ‘The Great Resignation’ had one of the biggest impacts on the modern day workforce. Americans quit jobs at a record pace during Q2 2021, employers transitioned to remote-first strategies and workers searched for higher salaries and better benefits. With a renewed focus on employee wellness due to COVID-19, understanding employees’ sources of stress has become an increasing priority for employers. Currently, concern about their finances is the number one source of stress for 58 percent of employees and, according to PwC’s 2021 Employee Financial Wellness Survey, 87 percent of employees want help with finances. This has resulted in an opportunity for B2B solutions targeted towards financial health-conscious employers.
