Wonders of Workplace Financial Education


The definition of workplace financial education that I would use is: to help employees develop

skills to make informed choices and take action to improve their financial well-being.

– William Arnone, Ernst & Young


The Employer needs a workforce

of financial independent people

who want to work and choose to

do so!


So what does the employer do?

• The Answer to more productive employees is not to give them more money.

• The Answer is to increase both employee productivity and employer profitability by offering a comprehensive workplace financial education program.


Benefits of Workplace Financial education

Improved productivity

through lesser employee

stress

Giving employees access to financial education will help them overcome financial stress by better managing their personal finance, reducing credit card and loan debt and saving more money. Thus helping them concentrate better at work and add more value to the organization. Better

productivity directly implies better bottom-line growth for the organisation.


Improve Retention-Reduce attrition

Financial education can help your employees understand that little extra money alone cannot improve financial well-being. Once they realize this there will be lesser inclination to change jobs and also reduced pressure on your HR

function for salary hikes.


Cut down on HR & Admin costs

If your employees are well informed about financial decisions there will be lesser queries to your HR/Personnel/Accounts department for help on issues related to Taxation, Pay scale benefits etc. Thus these departments can focus better on their core competence.


Higher Employee Morale

• Improved financial health produces greater concentration, creativity, more positive outlook towards life. As employees gain control of their financial life they become more competent on the job. Thus improving overall employee morale
