When no wellness program existed in the workplace, 8% of employees answered, "extremely helpful." When an employee had a financial wellness program available, that response increased to 17%. There was also an improvement in the botton two categories of "not very helpful" and "not at all helpful" from 25% to 14% when a financial wellness program was provided.
