11:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. Money Psychology: Beyond the numbers by TIAA
It’s easy to think that how you approach money is all about formulas, facts and figures. The truth is, the decisions we make are influenced by other forces too—our own biases, life experiences and human nature. We’ll explore what some of those forces are and how to tame them for our advantage.
You’ll learn about:
Human nature and what shapes our feelings about money
How those feelings might make us behave
The importance of the big picture when making decisions
Doing what’s best for your long-term interests

This session provides a clear, practical overview of EAP counseling, Wellness programs, and how your insurance benefits can support your mental health and overall well-being. Using the five domains of well-being as a framework, we’ll demystify what resources are available to support your financial, emotional and mental, physical, and social and community, and learning and career well-being—so you can better understand what’s available and how to access support when you need it. Time will be reserved for questions.
Open to all employees; EAP services are available to benefits-eligible employees, retirees and their adult dependents, and Wellness services are available to all benefits-eligible faculty and staff.
