NEW YORK - PennZone -- In workplaces across the country, a quiet leak is draining employee wealth: underutilized benefits. With nearly one in four employees failing to maximize employer-sponsored programs, FinIQ Edu is stepping in with a bold solution—one designed not just to inform, but to activate.

Launched as the B2B sister company to the acclaimed Her Financial IQ, FinIQ Edu debuts its specialized workshop vertical in alignment with Financial Literacy Month, offering companies a new lever to pull in the battle against low benefits participation. These dynamic, white-label workshops are engineered to translate complexity into clarity—and clarity into contribution.

Alongside its workshop rollout, FinIQ Edu is also introducing Benefit Toolkit, a free, standalone diagnostic resource for HR leaders and financial advisors. Think of it as a backstage pass to your current benefits strategy—revealing the "jargon gaps" and communication breakdowns that quietly prevent employees from fully engaging with their compensation and long-term wealth-building opportunities.

At the helm is Jessica Perrone, AFC®, a financial educator known for transforming intimidating financial concepts into accessible, confidence-building experiences. Her methodology doesn't just resonate—it delivers. On average, FinIQ Edu workshop participants demonstrate:

• 82% increase in intent to contribute to 401(k) plans (or equivalents)
• 87% increase in confidence and intent to invest with a financial advisor

"Effective education isn't measured in information delivered—it's measured in action taken," says Perrone. "At FinIQ Edu, we're not just teaching employees about their benefits—we're giving them the confidence to use them. When that happens, everything changes: participation rises, engagement deepens, and employers finally see ROI on the programs they've invested in.We are here to help HR directors and advisors move the needle on the metrics that define their success"
