Sixty-four percent of Australians are stressed about money (21% are highly stressed) according to a new study released today by Lifeline. Financial concerns are the second largest contributor to stress, with “work” being the largest factor.
Inevitably this financial stress is distracting your people, reducing their productivity and engagement and costing you.
Lifeline conducted the study in conjunction with Stress Down Day on Friday 24th July.
If your workplace is holding a “Stress Down” event to raise proceeds for Lifeline how about including a presentation that goes to the heart of one of the main causes of the stress – money?
You could host a luncheon seminar about reducing financial stress and provide sandwiches, while asking all attendees for a gold coin (or note) donation to Lifeline. It’s win-win-win:
- You benefit by addressing an important engagement issue
- Your people benefit by improving their wellbeing
- Lifeline benefits through your donations and increased awareness
Go on, call your friendly financial educator now and book it. It’s worth doing even if you can’t hold it on Friday 24th.
