Financial wellbeing is often overlooked, having money worries can have a significant impact on your overall mental wellbeing.
Financial Wellbeing
Having concerns over our finances can impact our overall wellbeing including our mental health. "Financial wellbeing is the least common area included in HR strategies, despite money worries affecting 47% of UK employees." CIPD, Nov '21
Our financial security, or lack of it, can negatively impact mental, emotional and physical health. Whilst most organisations offer some provisions via employee assistance programmes (EAPs), they are often under utilised and financial training is often under represented.
We work with Jane Johnson, a financial advisor with over 20 years of experience, whose workshops offer practical tips on how to regain control of our finances by paying off debts, saving more and planning for financial wellness. Below are some examples of the financial workshops on offer but please do get in touch if you have something specific in mind.
