Did you know? Financial stress affects 42% of Canadians¹, and can have direct impacts both on people and on organizations, particularly on mental health, productivity and talent retention. 

Nearly half the people (46%) who suffer from financial stress allocate an average of 3.5 hours per week to managing it at work². Over one year, this can represent up to four weeks of lost work³.  

Financial stress thus goes beyond personal concerns: it permeates professional life and affects organizational performance. 

Investing in financial wellbeing

Faced with this phenomenon, employers have a key asset: group retirement savings plans, enriched with education initiatives and an offer of personalized financial advice, so that they provide concrete and accessible support and generate tangible benefits. 

That’s why organizations have every reason to take an interest in this issue. 

Our white paper Financial wellbeing: lasting benefits for people and organizations presents the occupational and organizational issues raised by these questions in Canada and the solutions the group retirement savings plan can offer.

Our specialists take an in-depth look at:

• The consequences of financial stress for organizational performance, overall health and appreciation of the employer brand
• The importance of group retirement savings plans, which can help people optimize their financial health 
• The benefits of education and financial advice to improve financial literacy and quality of life
• The solutions and best practices allowing integration of financial wellbeing into a global strategy 

By investing in financial wellbeing, your clients can take concrete action on the total wellbeing of their staff, while strengthening their competitive advantage.
