Driving increased resilience and productivity
Employee financial wellbeing
Providing financial wellbeing tools at the point of pay enhances budgeting, payment flexibility, and savings. This strengthens employer loyalty, resilience, and productivity.
How does employee financial wellbeing affect productivity and retention?
Financial wellbeing is more than just pay
Employee financial wellbeing is increasingly important in the quest for the healthiest, most productive workforce. Financial wellbeing has a profound impact on your employees’ physical and mental health. By enabling them to take greater control of their finances, you empower them to be happier, healthier and more effective.
Financial wellbeing solutions allow employees to get to grips with their money. Greater financial transparency helps them do more: manage budgets, choose when to get paid, build up a rainy-day fund, and access free financial information.
More financial control helps your employees reduce stresses and uncertainties which affect their engagement and productivity.

From stress to success
Organisations can significantly improve employee financial wellbeing, engagement, and productivity by providing targeted financial tools and resources. Our survey of over 2,500 workers in the UK and Ireland, along with insights from experts, revealed that people highly value financial education, budgeting tools, and flexible payment options. These measures not only help colleagues manage their finances more effectively but also foster a sense of security and trust in their employers. By addressing financial stress, organisations can enhance overall employee engagement and productivity.
