Event Details

Financial stability plays a huge factor in emotional wellbeing and with the cost-of-living crisis continuing, employees are looking to their employers to help them through these challenging times. In fact, in Q1 2023, 68% of employers reported to have received requests for financial support from their employees.

It's also well known that happy and supported employees perform better and have increased loyalty to their employer - something that all businesses need right now. Yet, recent BHN Extras research revealed the majority of employees (53%) feel their employers could be doing more to support them.

However, with businesses facing their own financial constraints, how can you strike the right balance between staff retention and wellbeing – and your businesses own financial stability?

The key to success lies in truly understanding what it is that employees want, and need, in these times of turmoil.

Attend our panel to learn:

  • How SME businesses can support their staff whilst also facing their own cost-of-living constraints
  • How financial wellbeing impacts business productivity and why is it so important for SMEs to react quickly to dips in financial stability
  • Advice on how to boost retention as a number one goal, especially as post-pandemic ‘Cost of Recruitment’ bills are still impacting the workforce
  • Practical advice and tips on managing employee’s financial wellbeing, whilst keeping your business financially viable

A lucky attendee, picked at random will win an eGift worth £150!  The eGift can be redeemed at over 130 retailers, including supermarkets, travel and experiences. You will be entered automatically upon registration to be in with a chance to win! Click here for the prize draw terms and conditions (downloads as a pdf). 

We hope you can join us!
