Almost 50% of working Canadians admit that stress related to personal finances negatively affects their performance at work, reducing their ability to focus on tasks. A study conducted by PwC revealed that financially stressed individuals are 5 times more likely to be distracted at work and 46% spend 3 hours or more a week dealing with financial issues.[1]
For an organization of 200 members, distraction due to financial stress could mean 7,912 hours of annual lost productivity. With an average hourly wage of $25, that could translate to $197,800 of lost productivity costs due to financial stress.
With lower productivity, less satisfaction with pay and absenteeism due to stress, it’s imperative for organizations to monitor and improve the financial health of their workforce. Offering resources and support around navigating money and how to manage it can help individuals feel more satisfied with their job, committed to the company and improve health and productivity.
Join our webinar to find out how our web and mobile platform can help save you lost productivity costs, minimize absenteeism and navigate individuals to the resources and information they need, 24/7.
