Financial issues are the #1 cause of workplace stress. The Cambridge Human Resource Group states that a lack of financial education for workers is "the most unaddressed workplace issue." As CHRG reports, regardless of income, 70% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. The average employee spends 28 hours each month worried about, calculating, or stressed over finances, costing employers $5,000 a year in lost productivity, reports the Federal Reserve.

The Solution
Financial Education is the solution. According to WorldatWork, "right after employees, employers are perhaps the greatest beneficiaries of workplace financial education." The Journal of Employee Assistance adds, "understand that your health insurance providers, EAP team members and financial advisors (such as retirement plan administrators) do not have the specific expertise and skills to help financially stressed employees resolve the many issues influencing their ability to function at work."
