A recent study released by Price Water House on Tuesday revealed that 25% of U.S. workers report health problems related to financial stress. Moreover, 40% said that their finances are a distraction for them at work, and 15% said that they have missed work because of issues dealing with financial insecurity. An increasing number of companies are providing voluntary financial wellness benefits to address these issues. Programs include cash incentives, discounts, and debt management seminars to help employees balance the budget. A top priority for employers is getting their employees to defer more of their income to retirement savings, according to one Fidelity financial advisor.
