NEW YORK, March 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ernst & Young LLP has launched its new eFinancial Wellness platform – an affordable financial planning service that features interactive technology that provides a wide array of financial education resources for small to mid-market employers.
The eFinancial Wellness platform helps small to mid-sized companies offer competitive financial wellness benefits in a customizable and affordable package that is focused on an organization's needs, not its size. The Financial Wellness Assessment, accessible through the EY Financial Planning Center®, is the cornerstone of the service, a complete employee financial assessment. These assessments yield a baseline score for each employee's personal financial wellness and prescriptive action items that address individual areas of focus.
