The Compelling Need for Financial Literacy Workshops in the Workplace (Webinar)
Elevate your team's financial acumen with our webinar, "The Compelling Need for Financial Literacy Workshops in the Workplace." Discover the transformative impact of financial literacy on employee engagement and organizational success.
Description
Financial stress is the leading form of stress for employees in Canada and the USA. Despite being unpleasant, stress is not an illness, but there are connections between stress and mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, psychosis, PTSD, and physical symptoms such as hypertension, fatigue, and fibromyalgia. The Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine reports that healthcare expenditures are nearly 50% greater for workers who report high levels of stress.
Financial education based on age, demographics, and life stages is the answer to reducing financial stress which should lead to reduced benefit expenses, reduced incidences of presentism, absenteeism, and reduced accidents on the job as stress-related distraction accounts for an estimated 80% of workplace accidents.
Providing financial information is nice, delivering financial presentations is a must, and having financial workshops is a differentiator in your employee's lives that will enhance your company’s bottom line.
