Employee productivity is linked to Financial Health!

What is the Employee Empowerment Corps or EEC?

The Employee Employee Empowerment Corps (EEC) is a dual-agency coalition designed to offer local Employers the opportunity to provide free, onsite financial services to employees.  Research shows employees experiencing financial stress are more likely to:

  • Be tardy

  • Be absent
  • Quit

We can help!  Proven strategies will help employees:

  • Increase income
  • Build financial security
  • Become financially stable

These strategies not only help your employees become more financial fit but they also help your organization increase its bottom line and build stronger, healthier employees for a stronger work force.  We’ll tailor each session to meet the needs of your company or organization with topics such as:

  • Financial Counseling:  Improving credit, boosting savings and reducing debt
  • Income tax preparation
  • Getting banked
  • How to apply for affordable rental communities
