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.
