🎄 Managing Financial Stress after the Festive Season 🎄 The festive season is a time of joy and connection, but it can also come with financial stress that lingers well into January. If you’re feeling the pinch or worried about overspending this Christmas, you’re not alone. Here are 5 practical tips to help you manage your finances and start the new year on the right foot: 1️⃣ It’s the Thought That Counts The best gifts are rooted in meaning, not price tags. Reflect on what truly matters and consider scaling back if you're still spending! 2️⃣ Take Stock of Your Finances Review your bank statements to get a clear picture of where you stand. Awareness is the first step to planning effectively. 3️⃣ Create a Post-Holiday Budget List your essential expenses for January, prioritising needs over wants. A plan can help ease financial stress. 4️⃣ Plan No-Spend Days Challenge yourself to focus only on essentials for a few days or weeks. Get creative with what’s already in your cupboards or freezer! 5️⃣ Start Saving for Next Year It’s never too early to prepare. A small savings habit now can make next Christmas much less stressful. 💡 Financial stress can impact your mental wellbeing, so take a moment to pause, breathe, and seek support if you need it. At MHScot, we’ve partnered with FinWELL Training Ltd - Empowering Healthier Relationships With Money🐷 to offer Financial Wellbeing Training for employees. These sessions help teams build resilience, confidence, and a healthier relationship with money. If you’re curious about how we can support you or your organisation, get in touch - we’re here to help. https://lnkd.in/e3Jb32qB ✨ Wishing you a joyful and stress-free run-up to Christmas.

🎉 Thrilled to share that I’ve officially completed my training and am now a CPD-certified FinWELL (Financial Wellbeing) Champion®, thanks to FinWELL Training Ltd - Empowering Healthier Relationships With Money🐷. As we head into 2025, I’m focused on enhancing the support I can provide to our incredible and ever-growing Fieri team, alongside the fantastic work spearheaded by Adam Conlon. My role as a FinWELL Champion isn’t about offering financial advice - it’s about guiding people to the right resources and support when they need it. 💭 As leaders, how often do we stop to consider the financial wellbeing of our teams? It’s an essential, yet sometimes overlooked, aspect of fostering a truly supportive workplace. 👉 Learn more about FinWELL and their fantastic work here: https://lnkd.in/eWP768XT

Your leaders, managers and champions are the key to employee wellbeing… I’ve heard this said many times and I’d have to agree that they can play a huge part. This is a bit of a long one so bare with…👇🏼 First of all it should be known that the first thing employers need to do is look at employees workload, job design and processes to ensure they lend themselves to positive health and wellbeing. There is no one-size-fits-all silver bullet solution. But… I’d definitely say that it’s worth considering starting with your leaders, managers and wellbeing champions in mind. 💡 When it comes to supporting employees around financial education and wellbeing we’ve learnt a lot. The biggest challenge was making it inclusive for all and then personalised for the individual. Your company will have people of various ages, various income levels, family situations, levels of experience and confidence, ranges of needs and challenges, elements of neurodiversity and at various stages along life’s financial journey. It’s taken us almost three years to learn what employees want (and need) and also how to maximise impact, engagement and return on investment DONT TELL OUR COMPETITORS! 🤐 A combination of the following 5 things have proven to be most effective going on our experience with over 100+ employers of all sizes and sectors. 🐷 Personal money score & planning tool 🐷 Access to educational content 🐷 Interactive group workshops 🐷 1-1 guidance support 🐷 LEADERSHIP TRAINING These are areas that our clients have asked us to develop over the last three years. They might seem simple and some of them you can definitely do yourself or for little cost. Why start with leadership training❓ It’s funny that Leadership Training was the last area that we were asked to develop but that’s just the way it’s happened. Employers love all the other areas but conversations were still happening when we weren’t there. They wanted to up-skill their leaders, managers, mental health first aiders, champions and key employees internally so they could support colleagues themselves. It took us 12 months to listen and learn how to do this with various pilots before launching our CPD certified FinWELL Champions®️training in January 2024. 🚀 It was important for them to be able to ‘put their own oxygen mask on first’ and get to grips with their own financial wellbeing before feeling confident enough to help others. A small start… We’ll have trained almost 250 Champions this year and also 20 instructors, many being experienced mental health trainers with MHFA England®. We’re now seeing this being rolled out on a global basis with encouraging take up in specific sectors such as construction, police and emergency services, recruitment and healthcare. We will continue to listen and learn. What do you think? #HR #Leadership #Money #MentalHealth #Wellbeing
