Many companies are considering employee financial wellness as part of their benefits and compensation strategy. Helping workers build emergency savings is one tactic that is gaining popularity. To shed light on what employees expect and prefer in a workplace emergency savings program, on September 20, 2018, AARP released data from a new national survey of the U.S. workforce. 

Leading behavioral economist Warren Cormier, CEO of Boston Research Technologies and Executive Director of DCIIA Retirement Research Center, reviewed findings from a new AARP national survey of consumers. An interactive discussion and networking lunch with providers and policy experts followed.
