Alight Financial Path simplifies employees’ complex financial decisions, both today and into the future. The integrated platform is available to clients using UPoint, Alight’s industry-leading HR and benefits portal, and aligns benefits information and guidance to employees at their point of need, whether it’s building an investment portfolio, paying down debt or saving for specific life stages.
“Alight Financial Path considers employees’ full financial picture and helps them connect the dots between all aspects of their wallet, including health, wealth and wellbeing,” said Colin Brennan, chief product strategy & services officer at Alight. “Our intelligent, technology-driven solution can dramatically change the way our clients’ people make decisions about personal finances from everyday budgeting to managing life events.”

Alight’s data shows that when employers can help remove financial stress, employees can thrive both at work and in their personal lives. Employees who have access to financial wellbeing programs are more likely to save for healthcare needs, have life and disability insurance, and contribute to their 401(k) plan. By integrating the full financial picture of employees’ lives, employers can create more engaging employee experiences and build and sustain a productive workforce.
“While employers continue to expand their focus on financial wellbeing, employees expect next-level tools and resources that will help them navigate their financial situation, whatever that may be,” said Alison Borland, executive vice president of wealth solutions & strategy at Alight. “Employers have a unique opportunity to drive smarter employee decisions, and also realize a better return on investment of their benefits programs.”
