1 Workplace Financial Wellness What Employees Want and Need CUPA-HR NNE Chapter Fall Conference November 5-6, 2015
2 Important Disclosure It is the role of Fiduciary Investment Advisors, LLC ("FIA") to assist the Plan sponsor with the selection of investment alternatives for Plan participants to consider and choose from (which may include specific asset allocation programs devised by FIA) and to provide corresponding general informational materials and educational sessions to Plan participants, so as to enable each participant to direct the investment selection for his/her own Plan retirement account. FIA has not been engaged to provide initial or ongoing individual personalized investment advice to Plan participants. Accordingly, no Plan participant should assume that any general informational materials or educational sessions devised and/or provided by FIA serve as the receipt of, or as a substitute for, personalized investment advice from FIA, or from any other investment professional. To the extent that any participant requires initial or ongoing personalized investment advice, he/she is encouraged to consult with the investment professional of his/her choosing. Please Remember: Past performance may not be indicative of future results. Moreover, no current or prospective Plan participant should assume that future performance of any specific investment, investment strategy, or product made reference to directly or indirectly in any general informational materials or educational sessions (including the plan investment alternatives), will be profitable or equal any corresponding indicated historical performance level(s). Different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk, and there can be no assurance that any specific investment will either be suitable or profitable for a participant's retirement portfolio.

8 Live Polling Question #1 How many of us are stressed over personal finances at least sometimes? Text to now 1 out of every 4 Americans (346497) 2 out of every 4 Americans (346498) 3 out of every 4 Americans (346499) 4 out of every 4 Americans (346500) 8
9 Why Financial Wellness Money worries could have a significant impact on American s health and well-being 72% of adults stressed over financial worries at least some of the time 26% report feeling stressed most or all of the time, and 22% experience extreme stress With almost 3 out of 4 adults feeling stressed sometimes, it s inevitable personal money worries find their way into the workplace each and every day 71% of parents and 70% of Gen Xers say they have just enough or not enough money to make ends meet SOURCE: 2014 Stress in America Survey, American Psychological Association 9
10 Stress in America Today Key Findings from 2014 APA Survey Top 3 sources of financial stress: 1. Unplanned expenses 2. Paying for essentials 3. Saving for retirement For those living in lower-income households, both finances and stress about money stand in the way of a healthy lifestyle SOURCE: 2014 Stress in America Survey, American Psychological Association 10
11 Effects of Stress Lack of motivation, irritability, anger Headaches, depression, anxiety, digestive tract problems Muscle tension, neck and lower back pain Sleeplessness, fatigue, trouble concentrating Absenteeism and turnover Poor performance Accidents and injuries Physical and mental disabilities Delayed retirements Theft and embezzlement Violence 11
12 Costs of Stress Over $300 billion annually (American Institute of Stress, 2015) $5,000 PEPY (Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas, 2010) Up to $15,000 per affected employee per year (Financial Literacy Partners, LLC, 2005) 20 hours PEPM (AmEx Guide to Workplace Financial Education and Advice, 2004) More loans and hardship withdrawals Lower participation and savings rates 401(k) discrimination issues Limited HCE tax deferral Auto enroll/increase or safe harbor match = $$$ 12
13 Hypothesis: If financial worries are #1 stressor, then isn t it logical that financial wellness should be a key component of any workplace wellness program? 13
14 What is Financial Wellness? 14
15 Sound Money Management is Knowing how to plan, save and invest your money so that you can successfully work toward achieving your financial goals Budgeting Credit report and score management Debt management Financial goal setting Asset protection Savings and investments Retirement and health care planning 15
16 Financial Wellness is Subjective, but Sound money management (holistic and comprehensive) Preparing for the future= being able to pay your bills with some left over to save for short- and long-term goals Financial stability and a sense of control Process not an event One size does NOT fit all 16
17 Financial Wellness in Context SOURCE: The MetLife Study of Financial Wellness Across the Globe,
18 The Value Proposition 18
19 The Value Proposition For Employees Awareness of financial situation Improved financial decision-making Decreased stress and improved health Job satisfaction and engagement Improved credit scores and decreased debt Increased confidence about retirement planning 19
20 Live Polling Question #2 Employees want their employers help with personal finance matters. Text to now True (346491) False (346492) 20

22 22
23 The Value Proposition For Employers Lack of knowledge Bad decisions Personal finance education More knowledge More knowledge Better decisions Better decisions Better financial outcomes Better financial outcomes More productive workers & reduced fiduciary liability Increased productivity Good for the bottom line & reduced liability 23
24 It s Good for the Bottom Line 70% of American workers are not engaged or actively disengaged and are less likely to be productive Disengaged employees cost the U.S. between $450 and $550 billion each year in lost productivity --Gallup s 2013 State of the American Workplace survey Source: Bank of America Merrill Lynch 2015 Workplace Benefits Report 24
25 Changing the Conversation Oftentimes, we make the benefit program the focus of education Employees may miss out on important benefits offered More comprehensive financial education programs can provide employees with important context about the value of their benefits and how to optimize them In addition to providing the required information, employers have a real opportunity to do more If employers can do a little more to engage employees, employees may have a better chance of moving toward financial wellness 25
26 Promising Workplace Practices Education and Support Attitudes and Feelings Financially Healthy Behaviors 26
27 Live Polling Question #3 Percentage of employers offering financial wellness benefits to their employees. Text to now 20% (346501) 40% (346502) 60% (346503) 27
