From money worries to worrying about money!
Do you also suffer from a financial hangover after the holidays? December is behind us again: the time when many people resolve to "not go too crazy with gifts this year" and then get seduced by all the beauty and goodies anyway. Now that we have reached January, the question, "How am I going to make ends meet this month?" is causing anxiety for many people. In fact, for some of these people, this is a monthly problem. In fact, research shows that 21% of working people in the Netherlands have mild or severe payment problems.
So it's not just the December month that can have financial implications; moments like these occur throughout the year. Think about birthdays, the tax return period or the vacation season, for example. People who live in financial turmoil sometimes cannot see the forest for the trees, which makes making conscious and correct choices more difficult.
As an employer, how aware are you of financial problems among employees? And what support do you offer?
Make money worries negotiable
It is important for employers to recognize the signs of financial problems in employees. These problems can result in additional absenteeism. Prevent (serious) problems in the area of finances for your employee and your organization and prevent wage attachments; discussing this with the employee at an early stage can prevent a lot of trouble. By assisting the employee with financial problems, you make the employee financially independent, vital and employable again!
The certified budget coaches of De Arbodienst are happy to get to work for you and think about this with you! De Arbodienst's vision is that employees remain responsible for their own financial management. The budget coaches work with employees to help them regain control and provide overview and insight to employees, without taking matters over from them. Sometimes a multidisciplinary approach is useful and a psychologist can be involved to create a real change in behavior. From this position, employees can once again put a dot on the horizon and actually start making choices and adjusting their behavior accordingly.
Are you experiencing financial distress yourself?
In many cases, having financial problems brings uncertainty and sometimes stress: of course, this is not a pleasant situation. De Arbodienst is happy to help you turn this turmoil back into financial peace. Together with the budget coach of De Arbodienst you will work to regain an overview of the situation.
