Workplace performance and stress are linked.
Providing workers with tools for handling financial concerns can improve their well-being and performance on the job.
A recent survey by Financial Education for Todays Workforce revealed that workers are struggling and feel stressed because of these money-related matters:
- Debt (66 % of respondents)
- Saving for retirement (60 %)
- Saving or paying for children’s education (51 %)
- Covering basic living expenses (48 %)
- Paying for medical expenses (36 %)
Other findings: Four out of five employers report that their employees’ personal financial issues are impacting their job performance. This is resulting in:
- An increase in stress among employees (reported by 76 % of employers).
- Workers’ inability to focus at work (60 %).
- Absenteeism and tardiness (34 %).
Those reporting high levels of stress were more than four times as likely to report poor health overall, leading to more sick days, increased absenteeism and decreased productivity and higher health care costs due to stress related diseases.
This same survey noted two-thirds of organizations offering financial education rated their programs as successful, which included financial literacy classes, personal consultation services and online resources.
