(BPT) - According to the Bank of America 2025 Workplace Benefits Report, today's workforce is looking for benefits that address immediate financial challenges, like emergency savings and debt support, while helping them save for the future, too.
Employees say the financial resources they value most offer real-time learning and navigation tools. At the top of the list: retirement education, guidance on creating income in retirement, and tools to build healthy financial habits.
