Are you prioritising financial wellness?

Financial wellness is the definition of managing your own personal finances and doing it successfully without any added stress or hardship.

Money is crucial to our day-to-day lives and if we can’t manage our money it can be detrimental both in and out of work. Understanding financial wellness is a learning curve and is something that hasn’t been entirely prioritised within all people agendas.

We spoke to Jason Butler, Head of Financial Education at Salary Finance. Jason has spent 25 years as a financial advisor before deciding, in 2015, to focus on personal financial wellbeing. He spoke with HRD Connect about why he thinks business leaders need to entirely focus on educating their employees.

Managing flexible working

Flexible working has become a key HR trend in recent years and has boomed in popularity across all types of business. There are many reasons why flexible working adds value, but there are challenges when managing it. What are these? We take a closer look.
