Financial behaviors, sentiment, knowledge, and management systems start forming in childhood and often form into habits by the time a person reaches adulthood. The problem here is that, once habits form, they are difficult to break and therefore one’s financial situation becomes harder to change.

Building an Ideal Financial Wellness Program

Are you looking online for the top strategy for organizing your very own financial wellness program? Your search is finally over! We’ve carefully developed an in-depth walkthrough that fully describes exactly what steps you need to take if you want to successfully achieve your objective. Continue reading below to see how to craft one of the top financial wellness programs your bosses have ever witnessed.

Orchestrating a Winning Strategy

In the scenario that follows, you’ll be learning about an example of a professional who successfully sought some much-needed help to plan the perfect financial wellness program for his job:

Hiromi is the main coordinator for a state university’s high school outreach initiative, where he supervises 9 current college students who get paid to travel to local high schools to tutor and mentor disadvantaged students. Several of his team members had approached him with personal questions about money, so Hiromi decided to start planning some type of course or program that would help them with their personal finance issues. He wanted to plan one of the best financial wellness programs for his team. He was very familiar with the members of this group already, and he was very much in-the-know on personal finance matters – but he knew that some extra assistance would be necessary if he was going to really wow them.

Following Hiromi’s completion of a quick, informal survey among the group, he instantly realized that this program would need to start from the core fundamentals of personal finance.

Goals for Top Financial Wellness Programs

Hiromi had already decided on his short-term objective for this group: quickly boost their understanding on the topic so that they could apply it to their own financial lives. Thanks to the restricted schedules and limited free time that his team members had, he was able to see that the group would be able to participate – at the very most – two hours every week. For this reason, Hiromi had no issue with planning a slightly more condensed financial wellness program.

For this particular program, Hiromi planned an end goal for the group to reach the “Analyzing” level of mastery when it came to the topic of personal finance.

Delivery is Key

Now that Hiromi had a clear vision for his practical objectives, he needed to figure out would be his ideal delivery method. This particular collection of university employees had schedules that were all over the map, so he began to design the financial wellness program similar to an achievement-based course, so they would be motivated to continue through each phase.

The Best Financial Wellness Programs Have Focus

Hiromi then had to whittle down the focus of his first program. After all, he wanted to plan one of the top financial wellness programs that this group would ever see. The vast majority of this group was made up of state college students, so he decided to make the focus of this first experience center on healthy spending habits and establishing credit history.

Reaching Out to Find Support

After that, Hiromi needed to reach out to an experienced educator that would be able to help him convey this crucial material to the team of mentors and tutors. He was hoping to procure an instructor that had both a verifiable track record, as well as established teaching skills that could benefit this group.

The presenter he ended up selecting for his soon-to-launch program was a Certified Financial Education Instructor (CFEI).

How to Craft the Best Curriculum

If Hiromi was going to organize one of the top financial wellness programs that this team had ever seen, without sacrificing quality, he would need to be clever. He needed something that could still work inside of these particular scheduling constraints he was faced with. With that in mind, he opted to start building a flexible financial wellness program that would be intelligently broken up into smaller modules that could be done whenever the employees had some free time on their hands each week.

Translating the Results

Of the 9 university employees that took part in Hiromi’s first program, 8 managed to complete it with an average improvement of 14%. Hiromi then compiled the resulting data so that he could whip up a detailed report that would be able to convey exactly how impactful the online-based course had been for this group. The data would also, hopefully, prove why he believed it was one of the best financial wellness programs he could have planned.

The Importance of Recognition

Hiromi knew that this group would be best served if they were to continue receiving robust support further down the road. When the first program came to an end, he printed out individual certificates of participation, so that they would all be motivated to continue learning and improving their personal finances.

Then, Hiromi decided to keep helping this group by offering some of the best financial wellness programs as follow-up courses that they could also do online, once per month. This way, they could retain and apply what they had already learned with him the first time around.
