Financial Wellbeing

At Secondsight, we believe that the wellbeing of employees is the cornerstone of any successful organisation. When employees are happy and financially secure, they’re more productive, creative, and communicative.

When employees feel confident about their finances, it can have a positive impact on their emotional and physical health. However, in recent years, events like the COVID-19 pandemic, rising inflation, and the cost-of-living crisis have intensified the financial stress faced by many.

Financial stress can have an impact on overall wellbeing and happiness. If your people are struggling to manage their money and don’t know where to turn to for support, it could have an impact on your business too.

The Financial Fitness Show

Getting employees to open up about money is usually challenging and often uncomfortable. The Financial Fitness Show was designed to address financial topics in an engaging and light-hearted manner. By adopting a TV-style talk show format with plenty of audience participation and interaction, this webcast breathes life into what can often be a dry, yet important, financial matter. 

We can tailor these sessions to complement your organisation’s wellbeing strategy and direct your people to your existing employee benefits, if desired.
