New Financial Planning and Wellness Benefit now available!
At Marquette, we understand that wellness isn’t just physical, it’s financial, too. And we’ve heard our employees who have been asking for more tools and resources to help with their financial planning. That is why we are pleased to introduce the financial wellness services of Francis LLC.
This benefit connects you with down-to-earth financial planners who can educate and advise on a variety of money matters. They have no investment products to sell, so you can feel confident that you will always receive completely objective advice. There are no per session fees, so you can meet with a financial planner as often as you wish, and spouses are welcome to attend as well. For more information, check out the My Financial Health page.
Menopause and perimenopause coaching available through My Wellness program
