Personal Finance Employee Education Fund
PFEEF’s mission is to provide support to organizations and their employees as they attend to and take charge of their financial well-being. Organizations that provide financial education to their employees show results that include improvement in workplace productivity, employee morale, and loyalty while reducing absenteeism, turnover, workplace distractions and stress.
Working with employers, more than 300,000 employees have completed in excess of 800,000 hours of training with PFEEF’s support. The research shows up to a 70% improvement in financial knowledge, attitudes and behavior – creating fewer late fees paid related to their credit cards, decreased debt, and less stress. Organizations that empower their employees to take charge of their financial well-being show results that include improvement in workplace productivity, employee morale, and loyalty.
Through the Employee Survey and Personal Financial Wellness Scale™, we have assisted more than a million employees and others from over 850 employers reliably measure their perceived financial distress/financial well-being. The PFW Scale has also been used as a benchmark measurement for the efficacy of financial literacy programs. It is the longest-used survey in the workplace-based financial wellness field and has been used, in different forms, millions of times, as a benchmarking component.
