"Our company pays for our health insurance, so I don't know how many questions people have regarding that, but we also get the chance to contribute to a 401(k) matching program. When employees need investment advice,
especially for their 401(k)s, they mostly consult one another. They usually go to one of their supervisors or anyone who's older with more experience for that type of advice. It's probably not the best way to go about it, but employees tend to rely on each other." -- Joe K., leasing consultant, Hunters Run, Denver
"Our employees turn first to their fellow workers, second to the HR department, and finally to outside sources for insurance and financial advice. We are seeing increased use of the Internet for these resources; but remember, it is usually the woman who drives the decision process and this is reversed if the wife is not the employee." -- Don M., editorial director, Information Strategies Inc., Palisades Park, N.J.
"Our employees get their insurance and financial advice from trusted sources and referrals. Whether through personal contacts or through professional networking, I believe that people need to build a relationship of trust before they are comfortable seeking financial advice." -- Colleen Cimini, vice president. PR First, Hanover, Mass.
