Financial stress is a common issue impacting on employee wellbeing. Financial challenges can occur at many times in our life; getting married or separating, planning time out of the workforce due to children, buying or selling a home, retirement, redundancy, change in income, or unexpected medical expenses. Understanding financial concepts can be very confusing and it is difficult to know who to trust and approach for help.
AccessEAP partners with a financial coaching specialist to offer employees confidential guidance and support to expertly and respectfully guide people back to financial control. Employees are entitled to free financial coaching sessions as part of their EAP session entitlement.The sessions will usually occur over the phone.
"We can’t control the market, but what we can control will have a large impact on our financial future. Managing taxes, controlling spending, investing savings appropriately and managing how we react to the market will have a greater impact on your long term level of financial security than what the market does in the next week."
