Your Employees Are Stressed About Money... and It’s Hurting Your Business
Money worries don’t stay at home—they follow your team to work, draining focus, productivity, and morale.
While everyone’s responsible for their finances, employers can play a powerful role in supporting financial literacy and well-being.
Financial literacy has declined since the Great Recession, especially among 18–34-year-olds (FINRA).
Money is the top cause of employee stress—more than work, relationships, or health (PwC).
Nearly half of employees spend 3+ hours a week at work distracted by personal finances.
The cost of doing nothing? Burnout, disengagement, and lost productivity.
The upside of action? A more focused, loyal, and empowered team.

Does It Work? Who's Doing It?
Forward-thinking companies know that financial well-being isn’t a “nice-to-have”—it’s essential to employee happiness, focus, and retention.
That’s why more and more organizations are investing in tools and support that actually help their teams take control of their money and their future.
And we’re proud to say we’ve partnered with some pretty recognizable names to bring our financial wellness programs to life in their workplaces.
At Girlfriends Budget, we all come from the corporate and finance world, and we know the importance of seeing your company's ROI.
