Boosting Workforce Resilience: Why Financial Wellness Matters

February 13, 2026

Financial stress has become one of the most pressing challenges for today’s workforce, impacting both personal lives and workplace performance. In a recent study, 66 percent of employees reported feeling stressed about their financial situation, and more than three-quarters said the cost of living is outpacing their income. These numbers highlight a growing need for employers to provide financial wellness programs that help employees manage stress, build resilience, and achieve greater stability.

At Amalgamated Life Insurance Company, we understand the importance of financial security for working people and their families. Our commitment is reflected in our mission:

We are dedicated to helping working people and their families achieve financial security by providing affordable life, health and pension products and services while maintaining an unwavering commitment to excellence.

This mission is not just words on paper. It is the foundation of everything we do. We believe that empowering workers with the right benefits can transform lives and create stronger, more resilient organizations.

Why Financial Well-Being Matters

Financial stress is one of the leading causes of disengagement. According to industry studies, workers who struggle with financial concerns are more likely to experience absenteeism, lower productivity, and higher turnover. These challenges affect not only the individual but also the employer’s bottom line. By offering comprehensive financial wellness benefits, employers can help alleviate these pressures and create a supportive environment where employees thrive.

Financial well-being programs go beyond salary. They include access to insurance products, income protection, and resources that help employees prepare for unexpected events. When employees know they have a safety net, they can focus on their work and personal goals with confidence.
