Why financial wellbeing?
Money can be a significant source of anxiety. If your employees are experiencing financial stress, this will impact their work. They lose motivation, are less productive, and find it hard to focus or make decisions. They’re also more likely to look for a new job.
Supporting their financial wellbeing through workplace initiatives can hep your employees become more confident about their financial outcomes and be less distracted at work.
