Scottsdale, Ariz (PRWEB) December 22, 2011
WorldatWork is one of nine U.S. organizations honored with the first award for excellence in workplace financial education that recognizes innovative programs teaching employees how to make better personal financial decisions.
The WLIFE award ? “Workplace Leader in Financial Education” ? was created this year by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) to highlight the importance of financial wellness in the workplace. It is the first national honor for employers who provide financial education programs that improve the personal well-being of employees.
WorldatWork received the award for creating the Financial Fitness Program to teach employees personal finance, increase financial literacy among its workforce, and decrease financial stress among workers. WorldatWork partnered with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) to bring a variety of educational services including a Financial Fitness Assessment, personal coaching, seminars on budgeting and debt management, and help developing personalized long-term financial plans.
“WorldatWork provides financial education to take care of our most important investment?our employees,” said Kip Kipley, director of human resources for WorldatWork. “While the real reward for our Financial Fitness Program is the positive change it has had on the overall financial wellness of our staff, it is always nice to be recognized with an award!”
