Financial advice in the workplace: CIPD findings

It really feels like the Olympics is the only news in town.

Yet normal life does still go on, and there are some other valid news items out there for followers of this blog.

One such area is a subject I have often spoken about, but which does not generally get enough oxygen in the crowded space of employee benefits and engagement. And that is financial education in the workplace, or the worrying lack of the same, for so many of the UK working population.

So I am pleased to note that CIPD have just issued some new findings on this, and further details can be viewed via the following link:

This is obviously something we will return to over the coming months, and I will certainly be looking in more detail at the CIPD findings.

And it does tie-in nicely with a bit of Jelf Employee Benefits news from yesterday as well. You will see from the attached link that we have now launched a new proposition for employers around workplace savings, and one of the aims of this is to make it easier for employers and employees to access financial education tools.

I believe both of these themes are of importance to employers, and I will post more detail on each subject over the coming months, and of course this will be covered in our Autumn seminar program.

Best regards

Steve
