      Old National Bank + Your Employees: Supporting financial wellness starts with the right resources

      Employees today want more than traditional workplace benefits. They value resources and guidance that help them navigate everyday life, including their financial well-being.

      For employers, meeting that need can be an opportunity to strengthen employee engagement, retention, and overall workplace satisfaction.

      What is Empowered Perks?

      That is where Empowered Perks, Old National Bank's Bank at Work program, comes in. Available to both current and prospective Old National business clients, Empowered Perks is a financial wellness program that employers can offer as part of their employee benefits package. The program combines financial education, personalized guidance, and exclusive banking benefits to help employees build confidence in their financial futures, all at no cost to the employer.

      Empowered Perks is built around three key pillars:

      • Access to financial education and empowerment resources
      • Financial guidance and advice
      • Premier banking products and services

      Through a co-branded experience, participating businesses can offer employees financial wellness benefits tailored to their needs, while reinforcing their commitment to employee well-being.

      Financial wellness and reducing your employee stress

      A competitive benefits package goes beyond traditional offerings. As employers look for new ways to support their workforce, financial wellness continues to gain attention as a key driver of employee well-being.

      According to information from Old National’s Empowered Perks program, 57% of employees identify finances as a top source of stress and that one in three full-time employees reports reduced productivity due to financial concerns. Helping employees access financial education and guidance can benefit both employees and employers alike.

      What employees receive

      Employees enrolled through Empowered Perks receive free access to Real-Life Finance®, Old National's award-winning financial education program. The curriculum includes 46 lessons across 11 personal finance topics and can be completed through self-paced online learning or in-person educational sessions. Employees also have access to financial professionals who can provide guidance on budgeting, saving, homeownership, and long-term financial goals.

      In addition, employees can take advantage of exclusive banking benefits, including a PerksPlus Checking account with no monthly service fee, a fee-waived savings account, mortgage closing-cost credits, down payment assistance opportunities, loan discounts, and other valuable financial solutions.

      A meaningful benefit for your workforce
