At a time when financial literacy in the workplace is highly sought after across all generations, there’s a significant opportunity for employers to step in. By providing a benefit that helps reduce financial stress, you can positively influence the financial wellbeing of your employees.
What is financial wellbeing?
Financial wellbeing focuses on how an individual feels about money, and the impact that personal finances have on their overall wellbeing. It is an important aspect of employee wellbeing and many organisations choose to include it as an employee benefit.
The Money and Pension Service defines it as “knowing that you can pay the bills today, can deal with the unexpected, and are on track for a healthy financial future. In short: feeling confident and empowered about your money”*.
• Control – of everyday budgeting and spend, debt management, short-and long-term savings
• Capacity – to absorb a financial shock such as an emergency cost or redundancy
Financial wellbeing is not simply about a lack of money worries, as anyone can experience financial stress from time to time. It’s about not being constantly worried about money, and having the capacity to manage everyday expenses as well as save for the future.
Money worries can be a significant cause of stress for employees at all salary levels, age groups and demographics, impacting mental health.
