Why is this now an issue for employers?
For every £1 million an organisation spends on payroll...
...there is an estimated 4% loss in productivity due to poor employee financial wellbeing (Barclays 2014).
One in four employees say that financial concerns have affected their ability to do their job.
This increases to 31% for 18-24 year olds and 32% for employees in London.
31% 32%

70% of the UK workforce admit to wasting a fifth of their time at work worrying about their finances (Neyber 2016).
