Financial Finesse has created an online continuing education course for human resources (HR) and financial professionals on Creating an Effective Financial Wellness Program.
The four-to-five-hour continuing education (CE) course, available to retirement industry professionals on FiduciaryEducation.com, provides support in planning and incorporating holistic financial wellness benefits, according to Financial Finesse. The program, which approves credits for designations including the HR Certification Institute, Society of Human Resources Management Professional Development, and Certified Financial Planners (CFPs), seeks to reduce financial stress in the workforce while assisting in retirement readiness.
Financial Finesse points out the need for newly developed, comprehensive programs to augment and certify an employee’s retirement preparedness. According to a PwC survey, 54% of employees would rather make their own financial choices, but prefer to have a professional validate the decision.More information about the program can be found here.
