New Financial Wellness Advisory Board to Guide 2027 Research and Industry Insights

The advisory board will guide research into employees’ financial challenges, workplace financial wellness programs and their effectiveness, best practices, and the benefits of financial literacy initiatives, including the role of tools, metrics, and emerging technologies such as AI in improving employee financial well-being. 

“Financial stress can have a significant impact on employees’ overall well-being and their ability to thrive at work,” said Debbie McGrath, CEO of HR.com. “This research will help HR leaders better understand employees’ needs and identify practical, effective ways to build financial wellness strategies that make a meaningful difference.”

The findings and insights will be explored at a follow-up virtual event in the new year, offered free to the HR community. The research and event aim to equip HR professionals with actionable insights to strengthen financial wellness initiatives and better support employees’ financial health.
