Employee Financial Wellness Programs Project: Comprehensive Report of Findings

Using insights from employers and employees to generate evidence on employee financial wellness programs (EFWPs), this research report illustrates findings from a mixed-methods study assessing the potential of these programs to increase the financial stability of American workers. The research team surveyed employers that offered or were interested in offering an EFWP and subsequently conducted in-depth interviews with a subsample of those employers to acquire a greater understanding of survey responses. Further, the research team conducted intensive case studies, examining the relationship between EFWP providers and their clients as well as the dynamics of program delivery. These case studies benefited from administrative data on employees’ participation in their employer’s EFWP. Lastly, as part of a module within the Household Financial Survey of the Refund to Savings Initiative, the research team gathered individual-level survey data from low- and moderate-income employees to understand their interests in and experiences with EFWPs.
