August 25, 2025

As economic uncertainty grows, financial wellbeing is taking center stage. Employees who feel financially secure are less anxious and more engaged, which improves performance.

In times of economic uncertainty, financial wellbeing is getting more important than ever. When employees feel confident about their financial future, especially their retirement savings, they experience less stress and anxiety, which directly improves engagement and overall productivity at work. Supporting financial wellbeing also helps create a more resilient, motivated workforce that is better equipped to navigate today’s fast changing environment.

In our recently released WTW’s Benefits Trends Survey (“BTS”), we explored the factors shaping organizations' benefits strategies, the challenges and opportunities in managing them and the future changes being planned. One key finding is that talent issues persist and employers plan to use benefits as a tool to attract and retain talent and address wellbeing.

In answer to “What actions has your organisation taken in the financial management of its retirement benefits or is planning or considering taking in the next three years?”, enhancing financial wellbeing benefits scored highest when considering emerging actions in the next 3 years. We appear to have convergence as financial wellbeing is also one of the top 3 areas employees stated as wishing their employers to prioritise as revealed in the 2024 WTW Global Benefits Attitudes Survey.
