Why The Selector Group

Yes, our group has the qualifications and experience to help, but there are other groups out there with similar offerings – so what’s different about The Selector Group?.

We’re passionate about helping and don’t believe in “finance babble”. We understand it and we have to be able to speak it in the right environment, but we don’t need to speak it all the time just to make ourselves feel superior. We speak and communicate in plain English and we make complex solutions understandable. We deliver financial education in ways that employees really ‘get’. We look to impact your employees by helping them understand that finance really is basic, that it’s your car and we’re just the mechanic – you drive it, we work with you to keep it on the road.

Some of our most humbling moments have been with employees who, for the first time in their lives, can see that they will be able to retire on an income that gives them quality of life and they see it through their own eyes, not through their super statement or their mortgage. They finally understand the recipe that’s going to help them achieve it. When that happens, they realise that their company is a valuable partner in ensuring that their retirement dreams come true and this is the valuable win-win that we always look for, a truly grateful, educated employee who is motivated for company and personal reasons to do their best at work. For the employer they are able to count on genuine contributions from individuals.

Our different divisions help people with the pieces of the pie – Wealth Creation and Protection, Mortgages and Property. The real value is in our seminars – a series of presentations and programs to educate your employees about finance as well as meeting individually with employees to provide tailored advice and solutions.

All in all, we seek to improve your employees’ financial well being. We do this through you and the implementation of a number of simple strategies:

Implement focused personal finance education. Starting by encouraging employees to prepare a basic monthly budget and calculate personal financial net worth.
Create savvy employees involving big-ticket purchases. The largest purchases most employees make involves property. Consider an ongoing worksite educational series focusing on real estate and the financing of real estate (mortgages).
Solicit employee input on personal finance best practices. Consider posting these ideas on your company intranet or newsletter.
Distribute objective personal finance materials to boost employee financial wellness.
Incorporate financial wellness into your overall wellness programming. By tying in employee financial education to wellness offerings, employees will understand how their personal finances affect the financial choices they make at work and in their daily lives. Financial wellness programming also can serve as an entry point for those who have not participated in traditional wellness programming.

Ultimately, the bottom line is to make sure all employees are educated. Yes, benefits are provided for them and that is great. But the next step is making sure the benefits are right for the individual. It is through educational initiatives and revitalisation of programs that a company can truly inform its workers of what it has to offer so they can make the best decisions to help themselves.
