What is financial planning as an employee benefit?

It is an employer-supported programme that helps employees understand goals, cash flow, tax, protection, investing concepts and retirement. A responsible design gives everyone access to general education, while personal planning remains voluntary, private and subject to the disclosures that apply to the service provided.

Design the benefit in clear layers

Layer 1

General education for the eligible workforce.

Layer 2

Tools and self-directed resources.

Layer 3

Employee-requested personal support.

Layer 4

Any product or regulated activity, identified separately with the provider’s role and disclosures.

Education topics employees can use

Salary and cash flow; emergency funds; debt and EMIs; tax awareness; insurance basics; goal setting; investing concepts; EPF, NPS and retirement. Match examples to career stages without assuming income or financial circumstances.

From a workplace session to optional support

  1. 1. Define education

    HR defines the universal education offer.

  2. 2. Explain privacy

    Employees receive clear privacy and service information.

  3. 3. Deliver education

    Saventh delivers general education.

  4. 4. Employee choice

    Employees independently choose tools or request support.

  5. 5. Disclose

    Applicable disclosures and consent appear before personal or product-related activity.

  6. 6. Report

    HR receives only agreed aggregate reporting.

What HR, Saventh and the employee each control

HR: eligibility, communications and workplace logistics. Saventh: accurate education, service boundaries, consent and support delivery. Employee: whether to participate in optional elements and what personal information to share. Commercial terms and the provider’s role are explained before any personal or product-related service.

Protect personal planning information

Measure registrations, attendance, resource use and optional learning feedback. Do not show HR individual goals, debt, investments, recommendations or product actions. Document access, retention, deletion and grievance routes for personal support.
