Here are my favorite tweets from January, covering some sobering statistics about savings and wellness but some encouraging news about technology.

### Money managing needs to improve

One study shows there may be fewer 401(k)s being opened. 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&copyid=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)*
