The Employer Guide to Financial Wellbeing
With 48% of people saying that money worries are a distraction at work, supporting the financial wellbeing of your workforce is not only good for your employees, it’s good for business.
Just like physical or mental wellbeing, financial wellbeing is a measure of your financial health and relationship with money.
Most of us simply want to feel a greater sense of financial security and have a bit more flexibility and control over our finances. That’s why we created Wagestream to give employees peace-of-mind that they’ll be okay when life just happens.

The five pillars
to a successful financial wellbeing program
1
Must be available to 100% of staff
The 60 million people in the US that are financially excluded from affordable credit options
are often the ones that need it the most. By offering a universally inclusive financial
wellbeing program, you can help to break the negative credit cycle of financial exclusion.
3
Must include independent financial education
Empowering employees to make the right decisions when it comes to their money can only be done through effective, independent financial education.
4
Doesn’t increase employee debt in any form
Encouraging debt shouldn’t be a part of a financial wellbeing strategy that is genuinely
committed to improving the lives of employees. Loaning money won’t change behaviors or reduce financial stress.
5
Must promote good saving habits
How we feel about our money depends on the choices we make every day. Encouraging staff to make the right decisions and build good savings habits early on is the best way to help them feel better about their money, reduce workplace stress and get on well at work.
