From this session we gathered information on best practices and formed an internal task force to plan, coordinate, and evaluate these efforts.
The task force developed ongoing objectives for the program that include •  increasing employees’ understanding of how Board-sponsored benefit programs can contribute to short- and long-term financial well-being,  •  improving employees’ knowledge of basic financial concepts and improving their capability to make personal finance decisions,  •  encouraging employees to adopt financial management behaviors that will help them increase their short- and long-term savings and better manage or eliminate debt, and  •  evaluating the impact of workplace financial education on participation in Board benefit programs and financial behavior through appropriate metrics.
