Workplace financial wellness for stock plans.
We believe the path to financial wellness starts at work.
Equity compensation can give you an edge in retaining talent while giving your employees a powerful financial tool—but only if they know how to use it. To get the most out of the benefits you offer, employees need to understand how equity compensation fits into their broader financial lives.
While many financial wellness programs offer only education, we believe in an action-oriented approach. One that helps each employee—from financial novice to savvy investor—build a plan and take their next step toward financial ownership.
