Financial Wellbeing Crisis
With 17 million UK adults having less than £100 in the bank and 50% of UK employees running out of pay before payday due to the monthly pay cycle, it’s evident employers must do something to help their people. In fact, 70% of employees are looking for support from their employer to improve their financial resilience.A common misconception in 2022 is that much of this financial hardship is a direct result of the pandemic, which simply is not the case, as Matt Norbury discusses. Norbury shows that statistics like those above predate COVID and the pandemic simply acted as a catalyst rather than the reason.
