This is the optimal employee benefit for job seekers when choosing an employer, as remuneration is not the sole consideration anymore. Employees are seeking a more balanced, less stressed lifestyle.
According to AMP’s most recent Financial wellness in the Australian workplace study;

“Financial stress is costing Australian businesses an estimated $31.1 billion annually. Two in five Australian employees will experience financial stress over their working lives. This will last on average for 6.4 years or more. Financially stressed employees are less engaged at work and are more likely to underperform and take additional time off.”

Why would you spend your limited training budget on financial wellbeing education?

AMP has concluded that on average 3.2 days are lost annually due to stress-related presenteeism and financially stressed employees take an additional 2.4 days annually. If you calculate the impact across your workforce, this is a significant negative impact on your organisation’s productivity and profitability.

As employees are becoming increasingly aware of the wider issues affecting valued staff, and workplace wellbeing programs are becoming more commonplace. In the US in 2019, financial wellbeing programs are the most highly sought employee benefit.

There are several ways to be regarded as an employer of choice., Expanding your employee assistance program to include financial wellness could be vital in this regard.
