How it Works – Financial Education
How it works
Backdrop
A happy, healthy workforce is a key component of any successful organisation. That’s why employers are working hard to create a diverse range of wellbeing programmes to support their employees.
Employers are increasingly recognising that the financial stability of their employees impacts an organisation. When an employee displays worrying signs of emotional or physical stress, such as exhaustion, absenteeism or anxiety, health or personal problems aren’t always the root case – it can be personal financial issues. Today in the UK, 70% of the working population is “chronically broke” and 32% of people have less than £100 in savings, according to research by think tank, the Royal Society of Arts. These figures demonstrate how crucial it is for employers to provide financial wellbeing as part of their overall wellbeing package.
Employees are actively looking for this kind of support with surveys showing that it’s considered a must-have when looking at potential employers. So, if employees don’t receive this kind of information at work, where do they look for financial guidance? They turn to a range of sources, including comparison websites, friends and family and the media. However, when asked about trust and financial matters in the workplace, 53% of employees felt that their employer cared about them and their wellbeing, and 77% trusted their employer to keep their personal financial situation private from their colleagues and managers.
Money worries are not simply left at the office door. It is important that businesses realise that employee financial wellbeing is interwoven with their business performance, and therefore recognise the need to give employees the help they need to improve the state of their finances. About 13% of employers identify poor financial wellbeing as the biggest single cause of employee stress, and employers that fail to give employees the required support are undermining their broader business strategy.
Comprehensive, ongoing financial education is a powerful force for positive change.
