New CECP and E4E Relief Report: 95% of Employees Who Receive Emergency Financial Relief Report Improved Well-Being
Research finds relief grants boost retention and stability, but limited employee awareness remains the top barrier
NEW YORK, October 1, 2026 /3BL/ – Emergency Financial Relief grants deliver measurable returns for employees and employers alike, according to a new issue brief from Chief Executives for Corporate Purpose® (CECP) and E4E Relief. Resilience When It Matters Most: Emergency Financial Relief as a Workforce Lifeline and Strategic Investment makes the business case for relief grants as disasters and financial shocks hit workers more often.
Grant recipients report:
- 95% improved overall well-being
- 85% regained financial stability
- 85% increased desire to stay with their employer
- 79% feel more positively about their employer
“Emergency Financial Relief is a strategic investment in employee engagement and retention,” said Leah Battin, Manager, Strategic Advisory, CECP. “When a crisis hits, companies that show up for their people build loyalty that lasts.”
Rising risk, growing need
In 2025, the U.S. averaged one-billion-dollar disaster every 10 days. Financial stress is widespread even without disasters: 59% of U.S. employees are stressed about money, and 56% say it hurts their productivity at work. For someone earning under $50,000, a single $1,000 expense exceeds a week’s pay.
Financial Relief reaches those who need it most
Eighty-four percent of E4E Relief’s U.S. grants reach at least one financially vulnerable population. The average U.S. award of $1,300 covers roughly seven days’ pay for a household earning under $50,000.
The awareness gap
Programs only work if employees use them. Limited employee awareness is the top barrier to uptake, cited by 62% of corporate citizenship leaders and 50% of HR leaders.
“An employee financial relief program that isn’t consistently promoted internally has limited reach,” said Ashley Wilson Oster, VP and Director, Marketing & Partnerships, E4E Relief. “Companies that communicate early and often see the strongest outcomes for their people and their business.”
Join CECP and E4E Relief on Tuesday, October 27 at 1:00PM ET for a live webinar on how companies can close the awareness gap and get relief to the employees who need it most. During this webinar, leaders from CECP and E4E Relief will highlight key findings from the report and discuss how direct grants to individuals empower people to move from financial crisis to stability. Attendees will hear real-world insights on the growing financial pressures facing workers, how companies are responding, and the impact these programs can have on employees and organizations alike.

/3BL/ – Recognition follows Lenovo’s first Disability Index® submission across all eight Disability Advantage markets, with five markets achieving Advanced-level recognition
Lenovo announced it has been recognized as a World’s Top Disability Inclusive Business through the Disability Index®, the world’s leading benchmarking tool for measuring and advancing disability inclusion in business. Trusted by more than 70% of the Fortune 100, the Disability Index evaluates how organizations embed accessibility and disability inclusion across key areas of their business. This recognition follows Lenovo’s first Disability Index submission across all eight markets participating in its global Disability Advantage strategy, marking an important milestone in the company’s journey to build more accessible and inclusive workplaces worldwide.
This year, Lenovo expanded participation from a limited number of markets to include Argentina, Brazil, India, Japan, Mexico, Slovakia, the United Kingdom and the United States, demonstrating the continued evolution of its global disability inclusion strategy. Among those markets, Brazil, India, Japan, Slovakia and the United States achieved Advanced-level recognition, reflecting progress made through locally driven action supported by a consistent global framework.
“Disability inclusion is fundamental to building a workplace where everyone has the opportunity to contribute, grow and innovate,” said Calvin Crosslin, Vice President Chief Inclusion Officer, Lenovo. “The Disability Index recognition reflects the progress we’ve made in embedding accessibility and inclusion across our business, while reinforcing that creating an inclusive culture is an ongoing journey. Through our Disability Advantage Strategy, we’re helping ensure our employees, customers and communities benefit from technology and workplaces designed for everyone.”
Lenovo’s Disability Advantage strategy provides a global framework for advancing disability inclusion through local action plans focused on accessibility, awareness, inclusive workplaces and sustainable change. Building on Lenovo’s 2020 commitment to The Valuable 500, the strategy brings together global and local teams to strengthen accessibility, promote inclusive hiring practices and foster a culture where all employees can thrive.
Examples of this work are Lenovo’s progress in both physical and digital workplace accessibility. Across physical spaces, the real estate teams have used local accessibility audits to drive practical improvements such as automatic doors, lowered badge readers, improved signage and elevator installation. In the digital workplace, Lenovo has also improved access to key employee information through accessibility enhancements to its HR Knowledge Base. Together, these actions show how Lenovo is embedding disability inclusion into everyday employee experiences.
While the Disability Index recognizes workplace inclusion, Lenovo’s commitment extends beyond its workforce. Through initiatives such as the Inclusive Product Design Office, Lenovo is also working to ensure its products and solutions reflect the diversity of the people who use them, leading to technology that is really for all.
