Stress from personal money problems can often spill over into the workplace. According to a recent survey, more than one-third of our nation’s workers believe their financial situation has hampered their job performance. Of these employees, nearly half of them spend at least seven work hours a week dealing with their personal money matters.

Some common signs that an employee is financially distressed include:

Absenteeism
Verbal or physical confrontations in the workplace
Garnishments or wage advancements
Low participation in 401(k) and other retirement plans
Borrowing against retirement plans

Financial problems may be more common than most employers realize. Consider these findings:

Three-fourths of all workers report that they have recently faced at least one significant financial problem, such as being unable to save for future needs, delaying medical care, or having difficulty with a collection agency.
Two-thirds of all workers report they have trouble paying their bills on time and worry about money.
Nearly half of the nation’s 128 million workers do not participate in an employer-sponsored retirement plan.

CCCS financial education seminars are offered on-site and can be customized to meet the financial needs of your employees. Flexible scheduling allows presentations to be delivered during lunch breaks or near shift changes.
