Employees might hold back from discussing their finances at work because they may be unsure if it would benefit them to do so.

Lifetime believe that with the right financial wellbeing programme in place then employees will begin to see the benefits with far more clarity. They will understand that help is on hand and by asking for guidance and support they are actually empowering themselves.

They are being provided with the tools they need to have a full understanding of their current financial position – and to make the best decisions for them when it comes to the future.

By showing employees how such a service can help them gain full control over their finances, while simplifying issues such as wills, pensions, savings, investments and mortgages, an employer will build trust.

Education. Guidance. Help. Support. Advice. The right financial wellbeing service is about all of these things.

Financial wellbeing in the workplace is no longer a dream luxury. It just can’t be, not in today’s world. It should be a core part of company culture, a key foundation in an organisation.

It is, simply, the right thing to do.
