VIRGINIA BEACH, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FinFit, a FinTech company that provides over 125,000 employers with a unique financial wellness benefit platform, today revealed data that shows continued engagement in financial wellness programs yields overwhelmingly positive results.

Employees find new confidence with their finances and in return, bring their best selves to work, which impacts a company’s bottom line through increased productivity, engagement and retention.”
