Workplace Advice

In an ever-changing employer/employee environment, businesses are continually having to run faster and faster just to keep pace with what is happening around them. As a consequence, many are now beginning to lose touch with the financial welfare of their employees, which in turn is having a negative impact on business performance, workforce morale and employee retention.

From workplace benefits such as pensions, death in service and sickness/medical cover, through to helping employees understand and manage their own finances, employers are now finding that workplace support can be very beneficial and ultimately rewarding.

Research shows that businesses who understand and support employee welfare initiatives, make a much valued and positive difference to the whole workforce. With those who provide access to workplace financial education, continuing to see positive employee engagement, enhanced employer/employee relationships and a greater sense of personal respect, loyalty, and financial wellbeing.

Many employees say that money worries are affecting their ability to do their job as they have lost work focus and have become less engaged with their employment obligations. This situation is not just restricted to lower earners, it is something that affects employees from all earnings levels.
