Imagine a lifestyle at 65, where your investments pay you cash flow monthly and you use your years of training, experience, and wisdom to consult, work remotely, or be with a company that offers flexible lifestyle benefits. Sounds exciting?

Financial freedom is a strategy. If your aim reroutes from the idea of retirement to the idea of financial freedom, you can achieve it much sooner and with less money than you think. This month’s cover article, The Inherent Flaw With Retirement--And What To Do About It by Patrick Donohoe tells you how this lifestyle can be absolutely possible.
 


401(k) is defined as a contribution plan where employees can deduct money from their pay in order to save for life after their career. Many view their 401(k) as the key to a relaxing, work-free lifestyle. While this definition may seem fairly simple, nearly 50 percent of Americans don’t fully understand their benefits materials. Proper education on 401(k) benefits is vital to set employees up for success in their life after the office. Matt Thomas’ article, Educating Employees On 401(k) Benefits, shares two reasons why it is important to educate your workforce about their retirement benefits.

If you knew that 1 in 5 of your employees was silently struggling with an intense and hidden daily stressor, would you do something? Care giving is one of the big, important, and looming topics of today. According to Medicare, 66 million Americans are caring for an aging, chronically ill, or disabled spouse, parent, child, sibling, etc. Read Lindsay Jurist-Rosner’s article, Addressing The Silent Caregiver Crisis, to know the top 3 reasons why employers are supporting caregivers.

Employee well-being is a vital part of any business strategy, but unfortunately, the current state of well-being at work is low. O.C. Tanner recently surveyed 3,600 employees from around the world to explore the current state of employee well-being and its impact on company culture. Read Gary Beckstrand’s article, Dangers Of The Daily Grind, for key survey findings and to know how employees are feeling the negative physical impact of the workplace.
