We’ve made it our mission to uncover how Australians feel about their finances
Every two years we conduct a large-scale body of research which seeks to understand Australian financial wellness, the insights from which we compile into a detailed report.
Asking a range of questions covering mental health, management of finances, attitudes towards employers and productivity, and concerns surrounding retirement, we dig deep to better understand, not only our customers, but broader trends across Australia.
What does the research tell us about employees?
21% of Australians are prevented from working productively due to financial stress
$66.8bn in economic revenue is being lost annually due to financial stress
Those working in the Telecommunications and Information Media industries spend the most work hours on their finances
18 – 29-year-olds' productivity is most impacted by financial stress
How are Australians responding to financial stress?
This year our research has revealed that financial stress levels have increased and are back to what we saw in 2014.
We can also see that psychological wellbeing; employee engagement and employee performance are all trending down. Fortunately, our research has also revealed the main factors influencing these scores and allowed us to see trends across ages, genders, industries, and income levels.
We have compiled a number of educational resources for you to use with, and distribute amongst, your staff. These resources are designed to help support Australians struggling with their financial wellness and include whitelabel articles you can re-brand and use across your business, and guides that outline step-by-step actions that can be taken by your employees today.
