The pulse shed light on how and if business sentiment had quickly changed from the first wave of data fielded in February 2023<sup>1<\/sup>. Despite concerns around the fallout of high-profile bank failures, businesses reported financial stability. More businesses are currently growing compared to this time last year (62% in March 2023 vs. 54% in March 2022).<\/p>\n<p>\nBusinesses anticipate continued growth, with 76% expecting their financials to improve within the next year. That sentiment remains strong when looking across employers of different sizes. Over two-thirds of small businesses<sup>2<\/sup> (69%) and 86% of large businesses<sup>3<\/sup> expect their financials to improve within the next year.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cBusinesses continue to navigate roadblocks, including inflation, a challenging labor market, and most recently bank failures, seemingly with agility,\u201d says Amy Friedrich, president of Benefits and Protection at Principal<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>. \u201cThey have shown steady growth through recent events and are using the muscles they\u2019ve built to navigate and quickly respond to the uncertainties coming their way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Businesses report concerns over banking sector, but no panic<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nEmployers are most worried about inflation, higher taxes, and a potential recession. Following the recent bank failures, businesses are also concerned about the stability of the U.S. economy (55%) and global financial system (45%). Concerns are heightened among those using a small retail bank<sup>4<\/sup>, including the stability of the global financial system (63%), market volatility (54%), safety of their business\u2019s deposits (46%), and having access to capital (45%).<\/p>\n<p>\nBusinesses of all sizes have taken steps to mitigate risk by examining the financial stability of their current bank (32%), collecting outstanding debt (28%), and distributing account balances below the FDIC insured amount (21%) \u2013 this action is most common among businesses that use small retail banks (32%).<\/p>\n<p><b>Employees concerned about reaching financial security<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nAmid concerns about continued market volatility, employees ranked reaching or maintaining personal financial security<sup>5<\/sup> \u2014 defined as having control over regular expenses and enough financial freedom to enjoy life \u2014 as their second concern, behind inflation.<\/p>\n<p>\nEmployers recognize the need to support their employees during uncertain economic times \u2013 many agree employers should care about their employees\u2019 overall financial security (84%). Most employers (90%) and employees (83%) agree workplace benefits are an important tool to help support employees\u2019 personal finances. Employees identified benefits such as healthcare, retirement, and paid time off as the most important to help reach financial security.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThere\u2019s a need to better educate employees with tailored, relevant information to help them achieve greater financial security,\u201d says Friedrich. \u201cEmployers are well positioned as a trusted, accessible resource to help employees achieve greater financial security.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nSee the full results from the <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fsecure02.principal.com%2Fpublicvsupply%2FGetFile%3Ffm%3DEE12538-0%26ty%3DVOP&amp;esheet=53388502&amp;newsitemid=20230502005029&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Principal+Financial+Well-Being+IndexSM+Wave+1+%28PDF%29.&amp;index=3&amp;md5=6beb0e5259b4e1e3420ca81fb97a798a\"><b>Principal Financial Well-Being Index<sup>SM<\/sup> Wave 1 (PDF).<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\nSee the full results from the <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fsecure02.principal.com%2Fpublicvsupply%2FGetFile%3Ffm%3DEE12538C-0%26ty%3DVOP&amp;esheet=53388502&amp;newsitemid=20230502005029&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Principal+Financial+Well-Being+IndexSM+Bank+Pulse+%28PDF%29.&amp;index=4&amp;md5=4ea3529bc32199f2bf46aef3ad00fd59\"><b>Principal Financial Well-Being Index<sup>SM<\/sup> Bank Pulse (PDF).<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><sup>1<\/sup> The March banking pulse included input from 500 business owners, decision makers and business leaders, the pulse did not include an employee survey.<br \/>\n<br \/><sup>2<\/sup> Businesses with two to 499 employees.<br \/>\n<br \/><sup>3<\/sup> Businesses with 500 \u2013 10,000 employees.<br \/>\n<br \/><sup>4<\/sup> For the purposes of this study, small retail bank was defined as regional or community based bank focusing on general public.<br \/>\n<br \/><sup>5<\/sup> For the purposes of this study, a definition from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on financial security was used: \u201chaving control over regular expenses, having the capacity to absorb a financial shock, being on track to meet financial goals, and having enough financial freedom to make choices to enjoy life.\u201d<b><span class=\"bwuline\" \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><span class=\"bwuline\">About the Principal Financial Well-Being Index<\/span><span class=\"bwuline\"><sup>SM<\/sup><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe Principal Financial Well-Being Index<sup>SM<\/sup> surveys business owners, decision makers and business leaders aged 21 and over who work at companies with 2 \u2013 10,000 employees.
