WASHINGTON, April 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- EVERFI, Inc., a leading Impact-as-a-Service™ education innovator, today revealed the results of a student survey on the financial understanding and preparedness of thousands of high school juniors and seniors nationwide.

WASHINGTON, April 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- EVERFI, Inc ., a leading Impact-as-a-Serviceeducation innovator, today revealed the results of a student survey on the financial understanding and preparedness of thousands of high school juniors and seniors nationwide.
Less than a third of high school juniors and seniors reported that they felt prepared to compare financial institutions and select one that best meets their needs (32 percent).
Given the critical role of skill and confidence in building financial well-being, the low levels of preparedness among young people could be a sign of trouble if proper financial education is not provided as students finish high school and move toward financial independence.
The number of high school juniors and seniors surveyed by course was: Financial Literacy 332,697; Modern Banking & Identity Protection: 26,377; and Financing Higher Education: 25,634.

Research From EVERFI and Greenhouse Reveals Critical Gap in Bias-Reducing Hiring Strategies and Workplace Education

Retrieved on:

Thursday, March 24, 2022

WASHINGTON and NEW YORK, March 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new survey of HR professionals, commissioned by social impact education innovator EVERFI, and hiring software company Greenhouse, discovered that despite many companies' efforts to address diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace, companies are failing to implement bias-reducing strategies in the hiring and onboarding processes, and beyond. The survey found that the majority (69 percent) of companies believe inclusive hiring and onboarding practices have a positive impact on a company's brand and contribute to greater employee wellbeing, however, companies neglect to prioritize DEI once employees have been hired.

Key Points:

Additional limitations included a lack of diverse hiring panels and the absence of inclusive content on hiring sites.
"Good intentions are not enough to mitigate bias in the hiring process and make someone feel like a valued member of the team.
Even for companies just starting out on their DEI journey it's never too early, or late, to invest in a people-first workplace culture."
Power, Booking.com, Scout24 and The Knot Worldwide use the Greenhouse hiring software platform to improve all aspects of hiring, helping them to attract top talent.
