Workplace financial literacy training

A great proportion of Australian adults have received a varied level of money education over their lifetime and as a result many financial mistakes have occurred due to a simple lack of financial knowledge.

Now with the current tightening of our economy, increasing pressure is now being placed on most Australians to extract greater utility out of their incomes streams. Unfortunately, due to the lack of financial knowledge many are beginning to struggle. This is not income dependent as many high income earners are also experiencing identical issues.

To bridge this knowledge gap author and financial educator Greg Smith and his team at Lifestyle Money have developed a number of workshops specifically for the workplace.

These workshops are now available for corporate responsible employers to be offered to their employees to help them become more financially aware. By doing so, each employer provides their employees with the opportunity to learn skills to better manage their own money - effectively leading to them the knowledge to gain more out their current pay.

Each workshop is highly practical and very interactive and delivers fundamental money knowledge.

Please note - There are no financial institutions nor are there any specific financial products promoted - our goal is the transference of better money skills.

To service the varying degrees of money knowledge across your company, three levels of workshops are available:

- Level 1 – Essentials – suited for individuals with a limited knowledge of money.

- Level 2 – Intermediate – for individuals with an average level of money knowledge.

- Level 3 – Advanced – suited for individuals with a high level of money knowledge but seeking further independent input.

These levels are clearly defined by knowledge level rather than age or income and it is suggested that the majority of attendees attend the Essentials Level first.

Each level comprises a workshop of 1½ hours and is delivered in an interactive non jargon down to earth language for all to understand.

With more and more pressure nowadays being placed on the personal budget now is a great time for corporations to enact on their corporate conscious and provide their employees with appropriate independent training on financial matters.

Delivery: All courses are highly interactive and practical and are delivered as an in house program at your premises. All workshops are designed and delivered using the 4MAT training methodology providing for greater efficiency in learning outcomes.

Topics: A great proportion of Australian adults did not receive sufficient money education at school. Consequently, there are multiple levels of money knowledge and skill. Our goal is therefore to provide simple, accessible, and down to earth workshops on money that cover the following topics to improve not only the knowledge of those who attend but to also to improve their confidence and hence involvement with their own financial affairs.
