Have you considered financial well-being programs as a tool to increase the happiness of your employees?

We know happy employees are more productive and stay loyal to a company for longer, so Alisdair Barr and Zoe Lamont, of Future Map, have a new tool to add to your armoury for improving the overall well-being of your people.

They run financial well-being programs with employees to help them set goals and plan for their futures. Complex financial concepts are simplified and the aim is to build informed consumers in the areas of insurance, maximising super and investment goals.

Alisdair also provides advice on the challenges they confronted in growing a business that doesn't sell a product or give specific financial advice - as with any new business, he says, pushing beyond your comfort zone is a good start.
