Called Retire at Work, the programme encourages employers to use a specially developed, easy-to-use, video-based seminar to deliver financial planning information in the workplace.
“Planning for retirement is everybody’s business. We want employers to deliver the message because our research shows that employees feel comfortable dealing with retirement issues in the workplace,” said Retirement Commissioner Colin Blair.
Called ‘Sorted - Your guide to getting there’, the seminar and the material needed to run it can be downloaded directly from the Sorted website, sorted.org.nz/seminars . Retirement Commissioner Diana Crossan says people who are experiencing financial stress don’t leave it at home when they come to work.
“Financial stress can spill over into the workplace and affect how people do their jobs. The simplest reason for helping your team get their money sorted is to make your business a better place to work,” she said.
