Financial Literacy – The Crisis, That’s Costing Us All

What is Financial Literacy — and Why does it matter to your workplace?

Financial literacy is the ability to understand and manage money. It includes basic skills like budgeting, saving, borrowing, and understanding financial products such as loans, credit cards, or superannuation.

But across the UK, Australia, the US, Canada, and New Zealand — millions of people lack this knowledge. According to the Mercer Report, low financial literacy costs the US $250B in lost productivity each and every year.

How? Because 49% of your workforce live paycheque to paycheque.

They are unable to make their money work for them, and thus unable to thrive. This leads to lowered focus, because they have a 2nd job or side hustle, often on your time. They experience increased levels of absenteeism and poor health due to stress. They are vulnerable to dishonest behaviour in the workplace. They are vulnerable to dodgy/scam products personally, which simply exacerbates their personal financial issues.

They are unable to plan ahead, even career wise, when they see no change in their immediate future. Essentially, they are slaves to their paycheque with no motivation to set and achieve bigger goals for themselves, personally and professionally. They are disempowered.

The Global Reality

What this means for your business.

  • Employees who are stressed by personal finaance are likely to be working another job or a side hustle on your time.
  • They experience higher levels of stress related illness which leads to lower productivy and increased absenteeism
  • They are vulnerable to dishonest behaviour in the workplace
  • They are not personally empowered, confident or motivated, and are not at their best professionally.
  • This isn’t just a knowledge gap — it’s a confidence gap. And we’re here to close it.

For Employers & Community Leaders

Teams with strong financial skills are:

  • They're not working that second job or side hustle on your time.
  • They have a plan and can cope financially with life challenges
  • More available, with less time off for illness, stress and poor health.
  • Empowered. They have goals, and they want to work to achieve them.
