When we talk about well-being at Walmart, we are really talking
about three interdependent areas: physical, emotional and
financial. We know if someone is experiencing financial stress, it
can lead to significant physical and emotional health issues, like
heart disease, depression and more – it’s all connected. That’s why
we have been and continue to be focused on providing access to
tools and resources to support total well-being.
As part of our ongoing well-being commitment, we have teamed up
with Khan Academy as its founding sponsor to offer a new, free
financial literacy course for our associates, customers and
communities. The virtual course offers articles, videos and
exercises to master personal finance skills, which can help
strengthen financial capabilities, reduce stress and make choices
that lead to a healthier financial future. With a reported 72% of
Americans feeling stressed about money during the previous month,
we know providing access to personal finance resources is more
important now than ever.
The course aims to take participants from familiarity to mastery
by using a learn-at-your-own-pace, classroom-style approach.
Several key financial topics are covered in this comprehensive
training, including:
- Budgeting and savings
- Consumer credit
- Financial goals
- Loans and debt
- Insurance
- Investments and retirement
- Scams and fraud
- Careers and education
- Taxes
“At Khan Academy, our mission is to provide a free, world‑class
education for anyone, anywhere,” said Sal Khan, the CEO of Khan
Academy. “We’re pleased to partner with our founding sponsor
Walmart to offer financial literacy for all, enabling its
associates – and learners everywhere – the opportunity to achieve
greater financial success for themselves and their families.”
Knowledge is power, and to be financially literate means having
more confidence in the decisions you make when managing your money
to help achieve your short term and long-term goals.
We know from listening to our associates and customers that
financial well-being is an important component to their total
well-being. Our partnership with Khan Academy is an example of one
of the many commitments we’re making to invest in financial tools
to help people live better. We believe offering these unique
financial offerings will empower people to live their best lives –
in and out of the workplace.
Associates interested in taking the course can go to
One.Walmart.com/FinancialLiteracy and select “Get Started” to take
the course for free. Community members can take the course for free
at KhanAcademy.org.
