Future Planning Workshop

Financial Planning Workshop

Most employees think about financial planning as something to do later — when there’s more money, more time, more certainty. This workshop makes the case for planning now, at any life stage, and gives employees a clear, practical framework for setting and working towards meaningful financial goals.

Why This Matters

Most people are living financially week to week — without a plan for what comes next

Without a financial plan, life’s milestones arrive unannounced: a family, a home purchase, a career change, an unexpected health event. A short workshop that helps employees think ahead — even imperfectly — dramatically changes outcomes over time.

58%
of UK adults have no written financial plan
Despite knowing they should plan ahead, the majority of UK adults have never put their financial goals in writing. Without a plan, spending defaults to the short term and long-term priorities get perpetually postponed.
more likely to feel financially secure with a financial plan
Research by the Money and Pensions Service found that people with a financial plan are twice as likely to report feeling in control of their finances — with measurable improvements in mental wellbeing and workplace engagement.
44%
of employees say financial uncertainty affects their focus at work
Not knowing where you’re heading financially creates a persistent background anxiety that affects concentration, decision-making, and emotional resilience at work. Planning — even roughly — reduces that anxiety significantly.
What You’ll Learn

A practical framework for planning your financial future at any life stage

  • Understand the key financial milestones and decisions across different life stages — and why starting to plan, however imperfectly, is always better than waiting
  • Set meaningful short, medium, and long-term financial goals — with a framework for prioritising them when resources are limited
  • Understand how to protect your financial plan against common risks — including unexpected expenses, income changes, and inflation eroding savings
  • Navigate key financial decisions with greater confidence — including buying property, managing a mortgage, career transitions, and growing a family
  • Understand the role of a pension and how to make it work harder — without needing to be an investment expert
  • Know when and how to access professional financial advice — understanding the difference between regulated advice, guidance services, and general information
