BPAS Partner Conference – Speaker Profile – Amy Glynn

Health and wellness benefits have been an effective way to attract and retain talented employees for decades. However, these packages often omit an integral portion of personal well-being: financial wellness. Financial wellness programs have quickly become the fastest growing benefit in the country and for good reason, they drive positive business impacts by reducing absenteeism, and increasing productivity during the work day.

However, with any new benefit, there are many questions relating to efficacy, providers, and longevity.

That’s where Amy Glynn’s expertise becomes invaluable for plan sponsors wishing to take the participant experience to new levels.

During her session, Amy Glynn will dive into financial wellness as a benefit, and answer questions relating to how these programs have created a niche in the retirement plan industry.

As a retirement plan expert working with financial wellness providers for the last few years, Amy will shed some light on the rapidly emerging market place for financial wellness and strategies in working with BPAS.
