Financial Stress. Sorted
From firefighting to structured prevention - annual financial wellbeing programmes that reduce recurrence and protect retention.
Designed to strengthen existing provision and take pressure off HR teams.
Financial stress is often the least visible pressure inside workplace wellbeing strategies - and the most persistent.
Most organisations invest in support for burnout, anxiety and performance issues - yet find the same patterns returning.
Because one factor remains unaddressed:
Financial stress.
🟨 It affects employees at every level - regardless of job title
🟨 It influences focus, confidence and decision-making
🟨 It damages productivity, performance, retention and reputation.
This is not simply a financial issue.
It's a structural one.
When financial stress is addressed preventatively - rather than reactively - wellbeing initiatives work better, HR teams carry less burden, and recurrence reduces.
Ignore it, and it returns.
What a Structured Financial Wellbeing Year Looks Like
Each programme is built around strategically timed sessions, designed to reduce recurrence and address key organisational pressure points across the year.
Delivered online or in person, sessions can be aligned to onboarding, peak workload periods, life stages or organisational risk points.

Taking a Human First Approach to Money
At the Financial Wellbeing Academy, we believe that financial wellbeing is about more than the amount people get paid, or what their bank balance shows.
It's about confidence, emotional safety and the ability to talk about money, and make informed financial decisions without fear, shame or confusion.
Because money isn't just a number - it's a thread running through mental health, relationships and performance.
