This presentation will help the HR Professional fully understand that there is a direct
correlation between the employer profitability and the financial literacy level of its
workforce. We will explore how current economic and demographic trends
negatively affect bottom-line profitability, but importantly how the HR Professional
can address the issue, and what he/she ultimately can do about it.
HR Professionals will be provided with the knowledge of how to contribute to the
organization’s fiscal success by illustrating to management the costs associated
with financial illiteracy and countering this current trend in this economic
environment. It will enable the HR Professional to understand what is required to
track measure and make the case to management about the R.O.I. for these types
of programs.
Ultimately, the course will demonstrate to the HR Professional that by providing a
quality financial literacy education program, the HR Department contributes directly
to increased profitability, morale, employee retention, and workplace job
satisfaction.
