Financial advice sessions for employees focus on strategies when income drops

The Employee Assistance Office and the Office of Human Resource Development (OHRD) will host “Financial Strategies When Your Income Drops.”
 
This presentations — set for July 13 and 20, and possibly on July 19 — will provide tools and tips for employees to manage their finances when they are confronted with a drop in income.  Attendees will learn strategies of how to set realistic goals and formulate new spending plans by re-evaluating their financial situations.

Deb Neubauer of the financial education center through UW Extension and Kathy Hetzel, a Dodge county family living educator, will lead the sessions.

In order to reach as many employees as possible, this presentation has been offered several times during the last couple of months, in the early morning, during the lunch hour, and in the early evening. Presentations have been available across campus, some with translators in Spanish, Hmong, and Tibetan provided by Cultural Linguistic Services through OHRD.

Employees are able to attend this presentation during work time. If employees are unable to attend, the session is archived to view at any time by visiting “Financial Strategies When Your Income Drops,” by clicking here.

Employees are encouraged to attend if they are concerned or stressed about the upcoming increase in insurance and retirement deductions from their paychecks, says Christine Willard-Waldo, office manager at the Employee Assistance Office.

“Many employees find it hard to makes ends meet and hopefully this presentation gives them some ideas and tools to make things easier,” she says.

“Financial Strategies When Your Income Drops” will be held on July 13, July 20, and possibly July 19. Find more information here with times and locations by clicking here.
