HR leaders and experts weigh in on how employee financial health can strengthen workplace resilience
Financial wellbeing is increasingly recognized as a critical factor in workplace performance, yet many organizations struggle to integrate it into their total rewards strategies. Research highlights the strong correlation between financial health and mental health, demonstrating how financial insecurity can exacerbate stress, reduce productivity, and negatively impact employee engagement.
Today’s workforce also expects more than just competitive salaries; employees seek comprehensive support for their overall wellbeing. By integrating financial wellness into total rewards strategies, organizations can mitigate stress, enhance productivity, and position themselves as employers of choice.
Normalizing conversations around financial wellbeing and integrating meaningful support into company culture can drive engagement.
One of the most effective ways to introduce financial wellness without stigma is through onboarding, says Tara Adams, Founder of Abridge Consulting. “Onboarding presents a critical opportunity to set the tone for workplace financial and mental health support,” Adams highlights. “By embedding financial wellness into company culture from the outset, employees are more likely to engage with the resources available to them.”
