As employees deal with the impact of the high cost of living, their lives begin to spiral out of control, giving them an overwhelming sense of desperation. They find themselves under ever increasing financial pressure which negatively impact on their personal lives and their work performance.
In today’s tough economic climate, employers are encouraged to assist, support and enable employees to empower themselves financially and alleviate the strain and anxiety related to their ever-increasing levels of debt and lack of financial knowledge and understanding.
Providing a sound financial literacy program to your employees is seen as an increasingly important component of your company’s strategy as your employee’s level of financial literacy has a bigger impact on your company’s profitability and productivity than you may think because everyday problems such as stress, depression, interpersonal and work-related problems are caused by financial worries and not being in control of their financial future.
Our Smart Money Employee Wellness Workshops are based on valuable Financial Life Skills which are essential for effective money management. They are facilitated in an easy-to-understand format, taking into consideration all delegates levels of understanding, socio economic status and job grade, ensuring no delegate is made to feel left out. This ensures employees are able to understand all aspects of their own financial circumstances and by applying the principles learned during our workshop, delegates are able to implement the changes to their current financial lifestyle and immediately see the positive changes. We provide in-depth and insightful, life changing ways to guide one along their journey to financial wellness.
