Double Bottom Line: The Business Benefits of Employee Financial Well-Being

This event is a discussion on financial wellbeing in the workplace and how it can improve the bottom line for both employers and employees. This event features two panels. The first panel of national experts examines the current levels and drivers of financial stress among working Americans, and the ways that financial insecurity impacts business success. The second panel features business leaders and social innovators who are developing a new generation of employer-based solutions that can reduce financial stress and improve the financial bottom-lines of both workers and companies. The first panel features Marie Downey (BEST Hospitality Training), Clint Key (The Pew Charitable Trusts), Rob Levy (CFSI), Diane Winland (PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP), and moderator Ida Rademacher (The Aspen Institute Financial Security Program). The second panel features Amanda Hahnel (Commonwealth), Camilla Nestor (Neighborhood Trust), Jamil Poonja (Stride Health), Andrew Sullivan (Prudential Group Insurance), and moderator Dayana Yochim (NerdWallet.com). The Aspen Institute thanks Prudential for making this event possible. This event is part of Reconnecting Work and Wealth, a joint set of work led by the Economic Opportunities Program and the Financial Security Program. Income and assets are both essential building blocks of household economic security and opportunity, and are intertwined in the economic lives of households. Together EOP and FSP are exploring how critical changes in recent decades are reshaping both labor and financial markets and leaving working families more vulnerable. Through publications, public convenings, and intensive dialogues with leaders in industry, academia, philanthropy, government, and nonprofit organizations, the Aspen Institute is advancing the conversation on how to ensure that hard work can lead to economic stability and mobility in today’s economy.
