Building Financial Security for the Future Workforce

Many workers are struggling to make ends meet and the idea of setting financial goals are simply that; ideas that seem out of reach. If you're wondering how to ease the burden of the rising cost of living on your workforce, this workshop is for you. When money works for your employees it strengthens the communities they live in and their employers business.

This workshop will curate research, practice and resources on family friendly policies that can be implemented and why.

78% of employees with high financial stress say it distracts them at work sometimes, often, or very often, and six in ten workers would be more likely to stay at a job that offers financial wellness benefits. Your economic support policies could support a reduction in turnover and a reduction in absenteeism.
