Are Your Team Members Choosing Between Food or Health?
In a recent Disability Tax Credit session, a young man explained to me that most months he has to choose between food and medication to manage his invisible illness.
According to Sunlife Financial:
A majority of organizations (73%) agree that they have a
responsibility to help their employees with their financial
wellness. That aligns with our findings from the employee
side.
"When we surveyed group benefits plan members,
70% believed that employers have a responsibility to
support employee financial wellness."
• Almost one-third (32%) of organizations believe
that poor financial wellness is an issue among
their employees.
• 57% believe that their employees are looking to the
organization for help with their financial wellness.
• 53% say that their employees have expressed a desire
for education or information on financial wellness
within their organizations.

Working Together to Create Impact
Every time we work together, we also empower marginalized communities to gain choice, influence and control over their own lives, health and finances through the tireless and fruitful work of The 5-I's Fund.
To date, the 5-I's Fund has donated to over a dozen national charities and established a scholarship fund with York University in Toronto for students with Learning Disabilities.
Let's work together and continue to educate, empower and support.
