Workers report that the #1 source of stress is personal finances (MetLife: Financial Wellness Programs Foster a Thriving Workforce, 2019). This carries over into the workplace and can cause distraction at work, increased absenteeism, increased turnover, and delayed retirement. It can also exact a heavy toll on organizations and their employees. 80% of employers report that financial stress is lowering their employee’s performance level and costing them nearly half a trillion dollars annually (Forbes, Crisis: Worker Financial Stress Cost Employers Billions of Dollars Annually, Colleen Reilly, Sep 9, 2020 – https://www.forbes.com/sites/colleenreilly/2020/09/09/why-financial-wellbeing-at-work-is-more-important-than-ever/).
It’s time to start thinking differently. Financial Wellness is not a new idea, yet statistics indicate that financial stress among employees is growing. There is a connection between being financially confident and being financially well. Financial confidence helps individuals take control of their financial situation which can allow them a better opportunity to fulfil the goals that matter most to them. Employees need a flexible and straightforward approach that includes resources, guidance and insights to empower them and provide support for their path to financial wellness.
The “Developing an Employee Financial Wellness Strategy” seminar is designed to help business owners understand the benefits of introducing a comprehensive employee financial wellness strategy in their company.
