WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING:

A division of TIFIN, @Work is the first conversational AI-enabled financial wellness and advice platform for employees, developed in partnership with wealth enterprises. Workplace benefits and financial wellness are a crucial part of a modern employee's compensation package. Yet, employees struggle to make optimal use of workplace benefits within the context of their current financial status and future goals. At the same time, an increasingly strong source of growth for wealth management firms are the plan participants (employees) that their plan advisors service.
