The survey found that more than half of HR professionals noted that their employees have been more likely to open retirement accounts to take savings now compared to previous years. In addition, 22 percent of these people said their employees have their work affected by their money problems. More than 60 percent noted that they have witnessed some impact, while 2 percent said that it doesn't affect their workers.
