Financial Wellbeing in a Cost of Living Crisis
When the cost of living rises faster than wages, even financially responsible employees can find themselves struggling. This session provides practical, immediately applicable strategies for maximising money, reducing outgoings, and protecting financial wellbeing during a period of sustained economic pressure.
Cost of living pressures are the number one driver of financial stress in UK workplaces right now
Sustained inflation, energy costs, and rising housing expenses have created a new category of financial difficulty: employees who were managing well, and are no longer. This session meets that reality directly — with practical responses, not generic financial advice.
Practical strategies for maximising money when everything costs more
- Identify the most impactful areas to reduce household costs — from energy and insurance to subscriptions and grocery spending — without sacrificing quality of life unnecessarily
- Understand what government support, employer benefits, and charitable schemes are available — including schemes many employees are unaware they qualify for
- Learn how to protect mental health during financial pressure — breaking the anxiety spiral that makes it harder to take the practical steps needed to improve the situation
- Build a short-term financial triage plan — prioritising essential outgoings, deferring non-essentials, and identifying where breathing room can be created immediately
- Understand how to negotiate with creditors, utility providers, and landlords during financial difficulty — what your rights are and how to use them
- Know where to get free, regulated support — including Citizens Advice, the National Debt Helpline, and EAP financial counselling services your employer may already provide
For any employee feeling the financial squeeze of rising costs
Cost of living pressure does not discriminate by income, seniority, or life stage. This session is appropriate for the whole workforce — including employees who appear financially stable but are absorbing significant hidden pressure.
Those experiencing a genuine income-outgoings shortfall who need practical, immediate strategies to regain financial stability and reduce day-to-day stress.
Team leaders who want to understand how cost of living pressure manifests in their team — and how to respond supportively without overstepping professional boundaries.
HR teams reviewing their benefits, pay, and financial support offering in the context of sustained cost of living pressures — and looking for session content that responds to current workforce reality.
