MAXIS Global Benefits Network (MAXIS GBN) in January 2026 announced a partnership with LearnLux [1], a global provider of workplace financial wellbeing solutions, further expanding its wellness technology marketplace for multinational employers.
The partnership reflects the growing importance of financial wellbeing as a structural component of global employee benefits strategies. Multinational employers are increasingly confronted with rising living costs, economic volatility and uneven access to financial guidance across jurisdictions. Against this backdrop, financial stress is emerging as a measurable risk factor for workforce productivity, engagement and retention.
A global, scalable approach to financial wellbeing
Through the integration of LearnLux, MAXIS GBN enables multinational clients to offer employees access to digital financial education, planning tools and individual guidance across more than 100 countries. The LearnLux platform is designed to support employees at key financial decision points, including budgeting, debt management, benefits selection, retirement planning and major life events.
A key differentiator lies in the platform’s ability to align content and guidance with local benefit plans, while maintaining a consistent global framework. Services are delivered in more than 35 languages, addressing a recurring challenge for multinational employers: combining global coherence with local relevance.
Strengthening the business case for employer-sponsored financial support
Data increasingly supports the business case for employer-sponsored financial wellbeing programmes. Studies show that employees experiencing financial stress are more likely to report lower productivity, higher absenteeism and reduced engagement with employer-sponsored benefits.
According to LearnLux data, employees with access to structured financial guidance report higher confidence in managing their personal finances and demonstrate stronger retention indicators. These findings reinforce the link between financial wellbeing initiatives and broader human capital outcomes, including engagement, benefits utilization and employee loyalty.
From a governance and benefits design perspective, financial wellbeing is also gaining visibility as a lever to improve the return on total reward investments. Better-informed employees tend to make more effective use of retirement, savings and protection benefits, while employers benefit from improved utilisation rates and more predictable workforce outcomes.
Expansion of the MAXIS wellness technology marketplace
LearnLux becomes the latest provider to join MAXIS GBN’s wellness technology marketplace, which aggregates digital health and wellbeing solutions from selected third-party providers with multinational delivery capabilities. The marketplace is designed as a modular ecosystem, allowing employers to address physical, mental and financial wellbeing in a coordinated and scalable manner across jurisdictions.
For multinational organisations, the partnership illustrates a broader structural trend: financial wellbeing is increasingly moving from a discretionary or “soft” benefit to a core pillar of global wellbeing strategies, with measurable impacts on both employee experience and organisational performance.
