Manager Session

Financial Wellbeing Training for Managers

Recognise the signs of financial stress in your team, hold supportive and sensitive conversations, and signpost the right help — without stepping outside your role or adding to the stigma.

Why This Matters

Financial stress is a silent performance issue — and it’s sitting in most of your managers’ teams right now

Financial worry is one of the leading drivers of reduced concentration, increased absence, and declining mental health in the workplace. Most managers neither recognise the signs nor know what to do when they appear.

employees say financial worries affect their work
A quarter of employees report that financial concerns regularly affect their concentration, motivation, and performance at work — making financial stress one of the most prevalent and least addressed productivity issues.
£1.6bn
cost of financial stress to UK employers annually
The Centre for Economics and Business Research estimates that financial stress costs UK employers around £1.6 billion per year in lost productivity — with an additional significant burden from related absence and disengagement.

What You’ll Learn

Skills to identify financial stress, respond with care, and connect people with the right support

  • Understand the link between financial stress and mental health — and how it presents as changes in behaviour, performance, and engagement
  • Recognise the warning signs of financial difficulty in a team member without crossing into intrusive or inappropriate territory
  • Hold a sensitive, supportive conversation that opens the door to help without requiring the employee to share more than they’re comfortable with
  • Signpost effectively to internal resources (EAP, payroll, HR), external support, and free debt guidance — knowing what’s available and how to refer
  • Understand reasonable adjustments that can reduce financial pressure — including flexible pay timing, benefits access, and workload support
  • Create a team environment where financial difficulty is not a source of shame — and where people feel able to seek support before crisis point

How It Works

How Financial Wellbeing Training for Managers is delivered

Tailored to your organisation’s specific context — not a generic awareness session delivered off the shelf.

1

Tailored Onboarding

We start by understanding your existing employee benefits, EAP provision, and any financial wellbeing resources already in place — so managers can signpost accurately and confidently.

2

Training Delivery

An evidence-based, interactive session delivered onsite or online. Managers leave with clear language, real frameworks, and the confidence to act — not just awareness that financial stress exists.

3

Sustained Impact

Conversation guides and resource signposting documents help managers continue to support team members after the training day — and as new situations arise.
