Is Financial Stress Holding Your Workforce Back? How AI Can Help Improve Benefits Utilization

Is Financial Stress Holding Your Workforce Back? How AI Can Help Improve Benefits Utilization

Did you know that financial stress is now one of the biggest concerns for employees, with 73% citing financial worries as their top source of stress ? Surprisingly, it’s not just about paycheck size—many employees are overwhelmed by the variety of voluntary benefits offered by their employers, which often leads to underutilization. In fact, nearly 40% of employees report feeling uninformed about their non-medical voluntary benefits (BenefitsPro). This lack of understanding means employees miss out on valuable resources that could help them alleviate financial stress, while employers lose a significant opportunity to enhance engagement, productivity, and retention.

As organizations strive to meet the needs of a diverse, multigenerational workforce, the challenge isn’t necessarily to offer more benefits—it’s to ensure that employees truly understand and use the benefits available to them. Employees who have a clear understanding of their benefits are more likely to utilize them effectively, improving their financial well-being and overall job satisfaction. This is where TIFIN @Work comes in.
