MoneySuperMarket has launched a free toolkit to help businesses support their employees with money management. The Big MONY Workshop offers practical resources for companies across the UK, covering topics from cutting household bills to planning for the future.
What the workshop offers
The toolkit began as an internal financial wellbeing day at MoneySuperMarket. After positive feedback from colleagues, the company is now making the blueprint available to other businesses, launching with a live workshop at marketing agency Bottled Imagination in Greater Manchester.
Kara Gammell, MoneySuperMarket’s Personal Finance Expert and host of the workshop, said: “With many UK households struggling to make ends meet, people increasingly value practical support that helps them feel more confident about managing their money, alongside more traditional workplace benefits.”
Flexible sessions for employers
The workshop is designed to be flexible, allowing employers to tailor sessions on budgeting, savings on household bills, understanding credit scores, and saving and investing. Companies are also encouraged to bring in existing partners, such as pension providers, to run sessions for employees.
Gammell added: “The Big MONY Workshop is about giving people something really simple but valuable: dedicated time during the working day to look at their finances and find practical ways to make their money work harder. For employers, it’s an opportunity to offer support that can make a meaningful difference to people’s everyday lives.”
Household overspending figures
MoneySuperMarket’s quarterly Household Money Index showed that households are overspending by an average of £325 each month on essential bills and outgoings.
Katy Powell, co-founder of Bottled Imagination, said: “As a small business, we want to make sure we’re doing what we can to help our employees feel confident about managing and growing their money, especially as many costs are rising. The Big MONY Workshop gives us something we can proactively offer to our team to help. It’s practical and useful information and tips from experts on where to make savings they might not know about or have thought of.”
Employers can download the free toolkit from the MoneySuperMarket website.
