OAKLAND, Calif., Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- This Thursday, January 28, Arianna Huffington, Founder and CEO of Thrive
Global, will join Jon Schlossberg,
CEO of responsible earned wage access platform Even, for The
Future of HR: De-Stressing Your Workforce. Moderated by
Telvin Jeffries, former Chief Human
Resources Officer of Kohl's, the discussion will cover how
employers can help their employees reduce stress, build resilience
and achieve a healthier work-life integration. Drawing from their
experiences working with some of the world's most forward-thinking
companies and leading employers, Huffington and Schlossberg will
talk about the business benefits of investing in the wellbeing of
employees and explore proven, actionable ways for employers to
start reducing stress for their workforces today. Central to the
discussion, and hugely relevant to the current state of the
American workforce, will be the topic of financial stress.
"People are experiencing financial stress right now, and that
stress is connected to our overall well-being, our relationships,
and our ability to show up as our best, most productive selves,"
said Huffington. "And a company is only as resilient as its people.
So employers have a one-in-a-generation opportunity to help their
employees alleviate stress and build resilience, with benefits for
every aspect of their lives — and with benefits to companies'
retention and productivity. And companies don't have to overhaul
their current benefits and policies to have an impact. By making
small changes that help employees prioritize their mental health
and avoid burnout, they can create a culture where people feel
supported and empowered to bring their best every day."
According to Even CEO Jon
Schlossberg, employers are also in a position to do more to
alleviate one of the biggest sources of workforce stress, finances,
by transforming how they think about pay and by investing in the
financial health of employees. "Today's workers are experiencing an
unprecedented level of financial stress, but the answer isn't to
offer personal finance advice and 401(k) plans," said Schlossberg.
"People up and down the income ladder are living paycheck to
paycheck. They need help with expenses and bills that are due
before payday and proven tools to build emergency savings before
they can even think about retirement."
Many companies have turned to earned wage access as a way to
help employees navigate short-term financial challenges, but it's
essential to pair it with automated budgeting and savings tools to
make a lasting impact. Even, which works with companies like PayPal
and Walmart, takes this type of holistic approach and data shows it
works. The average Even member saves $163 within their first three months of using the
app, often saving for the first time in their life, and members
have collectively deposited more than $118
million in their Even savings accounts to date.
Thursday's discussion will cover earned wage access and many
other benefits that can alleviate stress, giving attendees a clear
framework for strengthening the employer-employee relationship
while boosting productivity.
The Future of HR: De-Stressing Your Workforce will
take place on Thursday, January 28 at
10am PT / 1pm
ET and you can register to attend here.
