Growing financial concerns among employees are also creating a greater interest in advice and guidance at the workplace. In fact, about half of employees want their employers to provide retirement advice and almost as many (44%, increasing from 30% last year) would like to receive access to general financial planning advice at work. According to the study, 52% of working Americans are now getting the majority of their financial and retirement products through the workplace—up from 46% a year ago.
