Free financial health check for staff

Employers are being given a lifeline for key staff concerned about their personal finances as the credit crunch tightens its grip, through a new programme of on-site complimentary Financial Health Checks, launched this week by The Wilson Organisation.

The financial clinics are the brain-child of Stuart Startup, a financial adviser in the Financial Services Division of The Wilson Organisation, the Nottingham-based independent insurance broker and financial adviser.

"Clients are telling us many employees are distracted by concerns over their financial health in the current economic turmoil," says Stuart.

"To help businesses show staff their support at this difficult time, Wilsons is offering complimentary financial clinics, during working hours and at their workplace, which will give employees the chance to talk confidentially about their financial worries, so we can help put their minds at rest and address any key concerns.

"All businesses, irrespective of size or industry, must operate at optimum levels, especially so in the current challenging trading conditions, and key employees not focussed on their roles and responsibilities, or distracted in any way, will have an impact on overall productivity. A financial health check could be one way of easing employees' worries and maximising their overall contribution to the business.

"By running these financial health clinics in work time and at the workplace, employers can effectively sponsor an employees' time for the initial half-hour consultation to reinforce their support of staff."
