Why salary increases aren't the answer and what you can do instead

About this event

Join Kim Uzzell as she explores the gains employers can make when they prioritise their employees’ financial wellbeing.

Now more than ever, businesses and organisations are feeling under pressure to increase salaries to help with the ongoing ‘cost of living crisis’, but this rarely has the long term impact they had hoped for and still fails to retain top talent.

Furthermore, almost HALF of all employees feel some level of financial distress, feeding through to a lack of focus, lack of productivity and an increase in absenteeism. And it's not confined to any one area of the business.

So, in this session we will look at why financial wellbeing is HR's business, why salary increases aren’t the answer and come up with a workable alternative that gives your teams more bang for their buck!

About the speaker

Kim Uzzell

After a 30 year corporate career as a stockbroker and investment manager, Kim handed back her building pass and lanyard to focus on supporting a wider range of people in becoming financially confident and resilient, setting up The Financial Wellbeing Academy and My Money Movement.

Kim is particularly keen on making “the dreaded money talk” easier and helping those carrying deeper levels of financial stress to release the blocks so that we can eliminate the money-shame and fear that often surrounds us, and which knows no boundaries in terms of gender, race, job description etc.

“Having completed 8 marathons, I know that the first step is often the hardest, but with determination, inspiration and motivation we can achieve things we never previously thought possible.”
