HR has spent a decade treating financial stress as a personal problem, something that happens to individual workers, solved by individual tools. A debt helpline here. An EAP there. A one-to-one with a financial coach.
This session makes one radical, evidence-backed argument: financial stress is not individual. It is collective. It spreads. Through teams. Through shift patterns. Through management chains. Through the social fabric of a workplace. The distress is contagious.
Join Stream for this webinar to learn how to treat financial stress as an organizational problem. Map it. Track it at the population level. Intervene upstream and measure herd outcomes, not individual ones.
