Jim Stapleton from Eolas Wellness tells us why we should be taking care of our financial wellbeing.
Eolas Financial Wellbeing programs tackle employee concerns by helping employees gain control
over their finances, leading to a more focused, motivated and productive workforce.
The workplace is a natural location for financial wellbeing initiatives to take place because it's the
conduit through which people earn money. As a result, financial wellbeing initiatives within the
workplace create a mutually beneficial environment of education, engagement, motivation and
increased financial security:
ï‚· Improving employee physical and mental health (people with high levels of financial stress
are more prone to sickness);
ï‚· Augmenting the perception of your company brand;
ï‚· Increasing employee engagement, productivity and retention;
ï‚· Decreasing financial worries and distractions; and
ï‚· Reducing employee absenteeism.
Organisations have every reason to want their employees to be financially sound, and an effectively
designed employee financial wellness program can help employers reduce a key barrier to
productivity and motivation in the workplace.
