Wellbeing | 69% of employees are feeling worried about their finances

We have surveyed over 2,500 UK employees to find out how they’re feeling and what they want from their employer during the COVID-19 crisis.

Here is what we uncovered:

Employees are worried about their financial situation

A staggering 69% of employees said they felt worried, stressed or anxious about their financial situation. The Employer’s Guide to Financial Wellbeing 2019-20 showed that employees are more stressed about finances than their careers, health and relationships. The research also highlighted the UK’s savings crisis - 19% of UK employees save nothing each month and 20% only save up to £50. It’s therefore not a surprise that faced with a period of great economic instability, so many people are feeling anxious and are left vulnerable to developing poor financial wellbeing.
