Health and Wellness Provider Offers Financial Wellness Program for Employers

Vitality Group and SmartDollar have combined forces to give companies an option for providing financial wellness to their employees.

Vitality, a provider of health and wellness solutions for employer groups, health plans and insurers around the globe, is making SmartDollar available to all of its clients as part of its Gateway platform as a result of expanding its offerings to include financial wellness. Clients will purchase SmartDollar and roll it out to their employees as a free financial wellness benefit.

SmartDollar is a financial wellness program that educates, inspires and empowers employees to proactively take control of their money and get on track for retirement. The mission of SmartDollar is to help participants change their behavior toward money and, in turn, use their largest wealth-building tool, their income, to save and invest instead of paying consumer debt. SmartDollar is offered as an online, mobile-friendly program and is available to companies of all sizes.

“Research shows that people’s financial security is crucial to their mental and physical health, which is why we’ve added SmartDollar to our Gateway offering,” says Todd Burman, vice president, Vitality Partner Development. “Vitality members can now receive personalized and dynamic financial health recommendations and resources specific to their needs in a way that meets them where they are.”
