Two studies from Alight Solutions indicate that there’s a disconnect between how much financial help workers think they should be getting from their employers and how much help those employers think they should give.

According to the 2017 Financial Mindset Study and the 2018 Hot Topics in Retirement & Financial Wellbeing report, workers consistently said they want more help across a variety of financial topics than employers believe they should offer, beyond basic retirement savings and insurance services.

Even for basic services, employees are out there ahead of employers:

• 88 percent of employees say bosses should provide help saving for retirement, compared with 84 percent of employers

• 84 percent of workers want help in getting disability insurance, compared with 71 percent of employers

• 81 percent of workers want help getting life insurance, while just 68 percent of employers think they should provide that help

But the divide is considerably greater outside those basic areas.
