Money is one of the biggest sources of stress for employees today. Rising living costs, unexpected expenses, and personal financial pressures don’t just affect people at home but also in the workplace.
For employers, that means lower productivity, higher absenteeism, and increased turnover. But there is a solution and it starts with implementing Financial Wellbeing Policy.
What Is A Financial Wellbeing Policy?
A financial wellbeing policy is a structured approach that ensures employees have access to resources, guidance, and support to help them feel more in control of their finances.
It can include:
- Access to financial education and tools
- Clear policies around salary advances or loans
- Benefits such as savings schemes or discount programs
- Signposting to professional financial support
It is a way of showing your employees that their financial health matters as much as their physical and mental wellbeing.
Why It Matters To Employees
Implementing a financial wellbeing policy benefits not only the employees but also the wider business.
