55% of employers prioritise financial confidence

Employers are increasingly recognising how financial wellbeing plays an important role in overall workplace wellbeing.

In fact, during a recent employer webinar, 55% of attendees told us that reducing financial stress or improving financial confidence is one of their priorities this year.

Why financial wellbeing is rising up the employer agenda

When employees feel confident managing their money and planning for the future, they're better placed to focus on their work, make informed financial decisions and feel more secure about what's ahead.

Financial concerns don't stop when employees arrive at work. Worries about day-to-day finances, saving for the future or managing unexpected costs can affect confidence, focus and overall wellbeing. 

Over 85% of UK adults endorse financial education

The need for support is clear. Research commissioned by us found that:

  • 85% of UK adults believe that without financial education, we'll all be poorer in the future
  • 91% believe we're failing future generations if we don't equip them with financial literacy
  • 80% say they wish they had received financial education at school. 

This highlights a significant knowledge gap that employers are increasingly helping to address through trusted financial education and support.

The challenge for employers

Many employers recognise the importance of supporting financial wellbeing, but they're often unsure what support employees need most or where to begin.

Effective financial wellbeing support doesn't mean providing financial advice. Instead, it can mean helping employees access reliable education, guidance and resources that help them make informed decisions about their finances.
