Over the last year, we’ve seen the effect of money matters on employees’ wider health and wellbeing brought into sharp relief. From the shifts in income and spending habits driven by Covid-19 lockdowns, to broader trends such as retirement patterns and more fluid job markets, employees’ long and short-term financial wellbeing is now more important than ever.

Aviva’s recent Thriving in the Age of Ambiguity report found that 39% of employees say their financial situation is affecting their mental health, with clear consequences for individuals’ wellbeing and their engagement at work.

This is the first video in a series of three, together with Aviva, which explores the findings from the report and how they shape the business case for financial wellbeing.
