The Origin of HomeBenefitIQ

Today most employers offer their employees traditional benefits at a substantial cost burden to the employer. Traditionally these include:

Medical/Dental/VisionRetirement/401K/Tuition Reimbursement

In today’s competitive environment you must continually seek value-added benefits that cost little or nothing.

This is the FUTURE of benefits!

Over the next decade employers will be looking for a new benefit - Financial Education

~Employee Benefit Trends 2009 Survey

Our Results driven offering…Problems: 92% of employees are losing sleep due to financial worries!

Worries: Presenteeism…employees are showing up for work, but are more worried about their financial issues than they are about getting their jobs done.

What are others doing about it? 83% of 450 HR Professionals surveyed said they are considering providing employees with educational literature and/or

workshops by (local) specialists.

Fears: Absenteeism… employee absence accounts for the equivalent of 35% of base payroll.

Bottom line: The average worker spends 16 hours a month, or 10 percent of a 40-hour work week, on non-work related issues due to financial concerns.


Financially Stressed Employees Can Stress A Company’s Bottom Line


The NEED for Financial Wellness in the Workplace

*A recent study by the Personal Finance Employee Education Foundation sited that 4 hours of every work week is used by an employee on personal financial issues.

*To an employer with only 150 employees that equates to a loss of approximately $450,000 per year (assuming an annual wage of $30,000 per employee).

The HomeBenefitIQ program is not only beneficial to the employee, but clearly the employer as well.

Benefit to the Employee*No up-front application fees*Friendly, quality experience*One-on-one relationship with your Mortgage Advisor Team*Customized mortgage solutions for your employees*Rates and fees not available to the general public*Price clarity — know the cost of the loan prior to committing to the
