Another shows how most people wish they knew more about managing money. Seems like a connection is missing. Could communication help? *Survey: Employers seek to boost employee savings [http://sbne.ws/r/6CYh](http://www.smartbrief.com/news/workforce/storyDetails.jsp?issueid=55CAB8C8-EB7E-4D9A-A119-C56AD91E645A©id=C637F3A5-A085-4ED2-B241-9B9C8A7BF53B&campaign=twitter&ref=twitterC637F3A5-A085-4ED2-B241-9B9C8A7BF53B)* *Survey: Young workers plan to earn more, save more [http://sbne.ws/r/6Cl](http://ebn.benefitnews.com/news/-2685017-1.html)* *Study suggests a different approach on employees’ 401(k) contributions [http://sbne.ws/r/6tIR](http://www.hrmorning.com/a-common-retirement-plan-strategy-thats-backfiring/)* *Only 62% of Americans have a basic financial literacy level – [http://t.co/S0dLgVt](http://ebn.benefitnews.com/news/money-education-2684974-1.html?ET=ebnbenefitnews:e1094:2007672a:&st=email&utm_source=editorial&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=EBN_inBrief_011211) 94% wish they were better at managing money* ### Social media—and its users—evolving 2011 could very well prove to be the year social media proves its worth not only as a great communication tool but as a viable means to help the bottom line. *Facebook Statistics by country – [http://t.co/WxOYzVi](http://www.socialbakers.com/facebook-statistics/) via [@socialbakers](http://twitter.com/socialbakers)* *Such great info in this Pew Study—Generations Online in 2010 [http://ow.ly/3E4jC](http://www.pewinternet.org/2010/12/16/generations-2010-trends-in-online-activities/)* *Improving communication takes more than new technology [http://sbne.ws/r/6wjq](http://blog.seattlepi.com/workplacewrangler/archives/235428.asp)* *reading: The rise of the networked enterprise: Web 2.0 finds its payday [http://ow.ly/3KWAc](http://www.mckinseyquarterly.com/Organization/Strategic_Organization/The_rise_of_the_networked_enterprise_Web_20_finds_its_payday_2716?gp=1)* ### The case for wellness Wellness is often about the numbers, whether that is biometric screenings or showing the full cost. These are two great examples, but we wonder how many companies measure the effectiveness of any of their HR programs, not just wellness. *McKinsey Chart Focus: The real cost of obesity [http://ow.ly/1rZXS6](http://www.mckinseyquarterly.com/newsletters/chartfocus)* *RT [@johnhollon](http://twitter.com/johnhollon): Workplace Wellness Programs: Only 37% Bother to See if They Work [http://lnkd.in/K5ZW4W](http://www.tlnt.com)* ### Work with Us We partner with organizations that value their people first.
