    Morgan Stanley at Work's fifth annual State of the Workplace Financial

    Benefits Study shows that both employees and HR leaders are feeling the

    impact of economic and market turbulence. Data shows a significant uptick

    in financial stress, affecting productivity and personal well-being. Financial

    stress is also driving strong demand for workplace support, particularly in

    financial planning and retirement preparation. Employees are seeking more

    active engagement from their employers in their financial well-being. As concerns about inflation and potential recession rise, both employees and employers recognize the value of financial benefits packages to not only offer relief and security to workers, but also as a key differentiator in talent management strategies for companies.


    In addition, employers are prioritizing retention, and utilizing financial benefits to foster employee satisfaction, loyalty and productivity. However, gaps between employee and employer views—for example, in the effectiveness of equity compensation education—suggest key areas where companies may want to focus their attention to maximize the impact of their benefits programs.
