5 FINWELL STEPS FOR EMPLOYERS & EMPLOYEES...
5 TIPS FOR EMPLOYERS & EMPLOYEES
Top tips for employers
1. Ask your people what they want
Please don’t assume you know what your teams need, ask them, and then ensure you take action.
2. Create psychologically safe spaces
Like mental health, the first step is to be confident and comfortable to #TalkAboutMoney. Consider bringing your employee and leadership teams together to share stories and collate resources, hints, and tips.
3. Utilise existing benefits and suppliers
You probably have some great benefits and providers. Look at ways to build on these to improve the communication, understanding, and engagement to connect the dots to real life challenges.
4. Maximise your wellbeing ambassadors, champions, and first aiders
Create champions within your business and offer them ongoing training and support so they can put their own oxygen mask on before helping others around all aspects of wellbeing, including mental, financial, physical, and social.
5. Act now; start small but think inclusive, personalised, and long-term
Don’t wait for the perfect time to start. Start now and build your offering over time to ensure it can be inclusive to everyone but also personalised. Anything worth doing is worth doing right and will take time.
Top tips for employees
