Financial education
Financial education helps employees to understand the value of benefits such as pensions and share schemes. Employers can help staff make wise decisions about money and investments through workplace workshops or seminars and information. Tools such as benefits modellers, meanwhile, can help staff to calculate the impact of decisions they make around particular perks, for example, when setting pension contribution levels or selecting which options to take in a flexible benefits scheme. Some companies include the added perk of personal debt management, which can help to reduce employees' stress levels and so indirectly contribute to improved performance.
