Friends Provident is unveiling a new financial education and support service which is aimed at helping employees to manage their money .
The new "Friends - my money and me" service will accompany the provider's existing educational tools and produce a series of independent and impartial modules which are designed specifically to increase financial awareness for the UK workforce.
At the heart of this service is a qualified, specialist team of 15 consultants who will facilitate generic financial education workshops in a sales free environment for employees. These will include workshops, that are also available online, which focus on retirement planning, money management, defined benefit/contribution demystification, and employee benefits.
Employers can tailor the service to match the needs of their workforce and select from a range of learning tools to suit their employees diverse learning styles. Neil Hawkins, national employee communications manager at Friends Provident said: "Our research shows people are not always rational in their decision making when it comes to money matters."
