WVU Financial EmployeeFest – Employee Benefits Fair
In order to show how organizations really use Money Habitudes cards in employee benefits workshops, here’s an example of a financial seminar for university employees, at West Virginia University. Many Money Habitudes financial education classes are taught by Extension educators.
For financial educators, there are a number of case studies that highlight how Money Habitudes is being used in a variety of ways; this one shows how one finance professor uses his Money Habitudes cards with students, university employees in benefit classes and with financial planning clients. Also, this post points out come of the commonalities found in financial education workshops.
Money Habitudes in employee benefits sessions:
- The money personality assessment is a fun, hands-on activity.
- It makes talking about money fun.
- It helps people better understand their wants and needs and their spending habits in the context of their employee benefits and retirement options.
- It breaks up often dry, boring PowerPoint presentations that are heavy on numbers.
- It gets couples to relate better to each other when discussing finances.
