Elevations has served Select Employee Groups in this manner since its inception for over sixty-four years. Elevations representatives are deployed on-site to virtually all of these groups/companies each year, and offer on-site education through its RealityCheck financial education initiative, open membership enrollments, resource tables and support at employee events.
Elevations education program RealityCheck provides unbiased financial education and consumer information to its membership and the community, directly supporting its core purpose of providing solutions for a better life. This initiative is nationally recognized and provides important value-added financial literacy delivered by subject matter experts and is available to Select Employee Groups via on-site education, seminars at Elevations locations, and web-based learning. In 2017 alone, Elevations deployed over 220 RealityCheck programs serving over 3,500 unique individuals.
