Many employers are providing financial education programming for their employees. These programs are delivered either by the employer or by an outside provider, such as a financial services or a financial planning company. Other organizations also deliver workplace financial education, such as credit counseling agencies. This paper presents the results of a survey of member credit counseling agencies of the National Foundation for Consumer Credit (NFCC) regarding their workplace financial education efforts.

This study detailed the extent to which NFCC member credit counseling agencies are delivering financial education to employees in the workplace. It also described the content of these programs and explores common characteristics of model workplace financial education programs.
