It’s no surprise that when people have control of their money, they’re more likely to achieve their goals, feel more secure and embrace their holistic wellbeing.
Our Employee Financial Wellness report found that 81% of employees said that they find money matters stressful and 35% said they find them extremely stressful. In fact, this stress can manifest itself into other concerns for employees like financial anxiety, absenteeism and less productivity in the workplace.
Negative feelings about money are a global concern, affecting people across all income levels. Many feel a lack of control over their finances, causing significant anxiety about achieving life goals like buying their first home or planning for retirement, which often get delayed. This financial uncertainty can leave employees feeling stressed, unhappy, and even unhealthy. However, employee benefits in the workplace like financial education can change that.
Employees can achieve their goals with financial education
By placing financial well-being as a key pillar of your benefits programme, it enables employees to become more financially literate, giving them the tools and knowledge they need to connect their income and savings to the lives they want to live.
Our research shows a growing demand for financial education in the workplace as 49% would like their employer to include financial education in their employer benefits package. This identifies a huge desire among employees for resources that can help them manage their financial future.
