Financial Education for Employers

Money is the greatest source of stress for Canadians – even more than work, personal and relationship issues. When finances create stress in one’s personal life, it’s next to impossible to stop worrying about it while at work. This can lead to negative effects on workplace performance, which could be costing businesses thousands of dollars annually.

At SolveYourDebts.com, we offer two different financial wellness programs for workplaces across Atlantic Canada. Whether you’re looking for a top-level overview on personal finance, or a more in-depth program to help your employees change their behaviour around money, our programs are flexible and impactful.

Personal Finance 101

Our Personal Finance 101 presentation provides helpful information about managing personal finances and covers fundamental topics such as:

  • Budgeting
  • Spending Habits
  • Signs of Financial Distress
  • Cost of Credit
  • Debt Repayment Strategies
  • Credit Reports
  • Protecting yourself against Fraud/Scams
  • Financial Goals & Savings

This one-hour presentation is ideal for lunch and learns and can be conducted virtually or in person at your office.

Rewrite Your Money Story​

This more in-depth financial education series consists of four, 90-minute presentations offered either virtually or in person. 

Each week, employees will explore key financial concepts, uncover limiting beliefs and develop practical strategies to achieve their goals. By the end of the series, they’ll be equipped with the knowledge and confidence to make empowered financial decisions, setting the stage for lasting change.

Weekly topics include:

  • Your relationship with money: Past & present
  • Getting financially fit: Plan, track, review & adjust
  • Taking control: Improving financial wellness
  • Building better credit: It’s about more than the numbers

Financial Education Can Improve Workplace Productivity​

Most employees take pride in their work, but financial stress can be a major distraction. Many workers worry about overdue bills, rising credit card balances and uncertainty about their financial future. This can lead to decreased productivity, low morale, high absenteeism and higher turnover.

In a recent survey of 155 Canadian workers by SolveYourDebts.com, nearly half (49%) admitted that they often or always felt stress related to personal debt while at work.

By offering financial education seminars, companies can empower their workforce, reduce stress-related distractions and create a more engaged, productive team.
