Savings and people: the real key to feeling financially okay

Worrying about money — especially not having enough saved up for emergencies — is a big source of stress in people's lives.

This worry doesn’t just stay at home; it follows them to work, showing up as missed days, low energy, or not being as motivated. In the end, this can cause more people to leave their jobs.

A study from the European Working Conditions Survey (2024) found that workers who don’t feel financially safe have more symptoms of depression, more stress, and are less creative.

This hidden cost of not having money worries affects not just individuals but also how well a business runs — which means that helping people feel financially okay is an important responsibility for companies.

Real financial well-being is more than just learning about money.

It’s about helping people feel confident and strong in their money choices — by having savings, good money habits, and smart ways to manage their money. Companies can help by offering training on budgeting and saving, personal money advice, and benefits that change to fit what each worker needs.

Cofidis does this by focusing on paying employees well, helping them learn about money, and offering special support when they need it.

Their aim is to help people make smart money choices, take control of their budgets, and build lasting savings. Because when people feel financially safe, they are more creative, grow more, and help the whole company succeed in the long run.
