Financial Wellbeing

Unfortunately, financial problems are common – the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) recently highlighted that two-fifths of employees are struggling financially1, in part due to the added pressures of COVID-19 on personal finances.

Financial concerns can have a big impact on your employees’ mental wellbeing – causing stress, anxiety and depression – and if employees are worrying about how they’re going to pay for bills, food, or petrol, it’s likely that they’ll be distracted, demotivated and less focused at work.

Key advantages of supporting Financial Wellbeing in the workplace:

Helping employees understand and manage their finances is good for business

  • Helps to reduce absenteeism and presenteeism
  • Increases productivity
  • Reduces finance-related mental health problems
  • Supports employees’ ability to retire
  • Builds workforce resilience
