Meet the Newest Employee Financial Wellness Benefit

Emergency savings incentives at work are a positive step forward for employee financial wellness, right? How should Millennials incorporate this trendy benefit into their personal finance decisions?

This is the millennial finance podcast Financially Well. In this episode, I'll discuss why companies increasingly offer emergency savings accounts to their Millennial employees. In particular, Kevin Mahoney, CFP® will discuss how to incorporate this new employee financial wellness benefit into your financial decisions.

Kevin, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, regularly hears from his peers about their struggles to build and manage emergency savings accounts. As Wall Street Journal reporter Anne Tergesen writes, some employers have started to offer such accounts -- along with savings incentives -- as a financial wellness benefit. Millennials may benefit from this nudge to save, but they also should remain focused on the decisions that will most impact their finances over the long term.
