3 pillars of financial wellbeing

Financial stress impacts focus, productivity, and retention. When employees struggle with money worries, businesses feel the effects too. Supporting financial wellbeing reduces stress, boosts morale, and helps your team thrive.

This webinar will introduce the three pillars of financial wellbeing, showing how better financial education and support can drive business success.
๐Ÿ’ก Financial Resilience: Helping your employees cope
When employees struggle to make ends meet, stress follows them to work.

Financial resilience is about giving employees the tools to manage day-to-day finances. It helps them handle debt effectively, create and stick to a budget, and start savingโ€”even on a low income.

Why it matters to your business:
  • Employees under financial strain are 2x more likely to take sick days
  • Financial stress costs UK businesses ยฃ2.5 billion in lost productivity each year
  • Supporting financial resilience reduces absenteeism and improves focus
๐Ÿ“– Financial Literacy: Helping your employees be financially savvy
When employees understand money, they make better decisions - at home and at work.

Financial literacy equips employees with the confidence to manage their finances effectively. It helps them understand how money, tax, and investments work, while also encouraging them to set financial goals and build long-term security.

Why it matters to your business:
  • Financially literate employees are more engaged and confident
  • 79% of employees would be more loyal to an employer that supports financial wellbeing
  • Employees who feel in control of their finances are more productive and less distracted
๐Ÿš€ Financial Freedom: Helping your employees thrive
Financially secure employees are happier, more loyal, and more productive.

Financial freedom is about long-term stability. Employees who reach this stage can make sustainable investments, secure financial stability for their families, and reduce money-related stressโ€”allowing them to focus on what truly matters.

Why it matters to your business:
  • Employees with financial security are 5x more likely to stay long-term
  • Financially free employees experience lower stress and higher job satisfaction
  • A financially confident team means a more resilient, motivated workforce
