Relational Gravity, a consulting leader in employee engagement and retirement planning, proudly endorses Sunny Day Fund® as a critical financial benefit for today’s workers. This partnership reflects both companies' shared commitment to addressing employees’ immediate financial needs, enabling greater peace of mind and focus on their professional roles.
Why Sunny Day Fund?
Sunny Day Fund addresses a core gap in financial wellness programs—emergency savings. For many, financial stability isn’t just about retirement but being prepared for unexpected expenses.
Jeff Hutson, Principal Consultant and founder of Relational Gravity sees this as essential for workplace productivity and personal well-being:
"Relational Gravity does a lot of participant research for retirement plans and employers, particularly understanding the financial well-being of the people employers serve. One of the things that many employers have encountered is employees with very weak financial well-being who struggle on the job with distraction, increased workplace accidents, and decreased productivity. Offering an emergency savings plan empowers these employees to save and be prepared for emergencies, so they’re less distracted at work and live a better life at home."
Through payroll-deducted contributions, Sunny Day Fund ESAs offer employees an easy way to build a financial safety net without penalties—enhancing employee focus by reducing financial stressors, and preserving their retirement assets.

Under Jeff’s seasoned leadership, Relational Gravity has become a trusted advisor to employers in retirement and financial wellness solutions. With over 35 years of experience in participant research, communication, and engagement strategies, Jeff has led initiatives that span organizations of 8,000 to 40,000 participants.
As a Certified Retirement Counselor® (CRC®) and Accredited Business Communicator (ABC), his unique expertise is evident across retirement plan services, healthcare, government, and more. Relational Gravity’s consulting and collaborative approach have established it as a force for progressive and impactful change.
