Mind the Gap is back! 🎉 As a proud partner of the Wellbeing at Work World Summit coming up, this series was created in correlation with the event exploring the gap opening between employer and employee when it comes financial wellness in the workplace. In this next instalment, we discuss how you can’t underestimate the powerful force a well-structured peer group or network can be for change and support within an organisation. See how to best utilise this resource to help bridge the gap between employers and their employees 🧠 💪 #financialwellness #costofliving #wellbeingatwork #happyemployees #empowerment #leadershipdevelopment #wellness

As a proud partner of the Wellbeing at Work World Summit, our CEO Darren Smith has created a new series of insightful articles to correlate with the event exploring employers and employees perspectives and insights when it comes to financial wellness in the workplace. Introducing: The "Mind the Gap" Series! There are very few employers and employees who have not felt the increased pressures of cost of living or cost to serve, which is causing a gap to open between employers and their employees. Check out our first instalment of 3 where we explore this gap from the two different perspectives and consider what support can be provided to close the gap and create a more balanced relationship 🤝🙌 #financialwellness #costofliving #wellbeingatwork #happyemployees #empowerment #leadershipdevelopment #wellness

At Financial Wellness Matters, we are no strangers to the effects stress and mental wellbeing can have on people, particularly from financial pressures. We have seen through our work, our experiences, and research that the link between financial and mental wellbeing is stronger and more established than you may think. According to research conducted by Beyond Blue last year, people experiencing financial challenges are at least twice as likely to encounter mental health issues than those that aren't. These financial challenges and hardships, especially in the current financial climate, can have a substantial effect not only on someone's work performance, but in their personal matters as well. The longer this goes unseen and unsupported, the worse it can progress. We work with organisations to help them greater support their employees to understand their financial positions, and provide them with the tools and skills they need to empower them to alleviate some of the financial pressures they may be facing. On this World Mental Health Day, we encourage any leaders and workplaces to make financial wellness a priority not just today, but every day, and work towards empowering and supporting their teams to make the most of their finances. Please reach out to our team if you're looking to make a start in greater supporting yours.

It's officially Queensland Mental Health Week 🧠💚 This week is all about encouraging yourself and others to really think about your mental health and wellbeing, and gaining a greater understanding of how important and impactful our mental health truly is in our daily lives. We at Financial Wellness Matters encourage you to also consider your financial wellbeing and how this could be affecting your mental health. Take the time this week, and throughout your daily life to reflect and see what you can do to strengthen and support your financial and mental wellbeing 💪🙌
