In this episode of the Brandon Hall Group™ Excellence Outlook podcast, Mike Cooke, Chairman and CEO of Brandon Hall Group™, talks with Marthin De Beer, Founder and CEO of BrightPlan, about the hidden costs of employee financial stress and why financial wellness deserves a place in every organization’s workforce strategy. The conversation previews their upcoming fireside chat at the Brandon Hall Group™ HCM Excellence Conference, January 26–28 in West Palm Beach, Florida.
