Financial wellbeing is defined as: “A sense of security and feeling as though you have enough money to meet your needs. It’s about being in control of your day-to-day finances and having the financial freedom to make choices that allow you to enjoy life.”
On October 26 AmCham’s HR Committee organized the meeting to further discuss what companies predict for their compensation policies in the coming months, as well as how the financial wellbeing of employees can be maintained in these turbulent times, with invited speakers Krisztina Mihók, Head of HR, ERSTE Bank, William Benkő, Investor and Business Developer, Salarify and Tamás Jakus, Country HR Lead, Thermo Fisher Scientific. Dr. Róbert Dobay, Chairman, AmCham HR Committee and CEO of Menedzsmentor hosted and moderated the discussion.
Recently organizations started ramping up their employee financial wellness offerings to improve financial health, engagement and increase productivity - despite the economic challenges of financial strains leaving employees stressed and distracted. The recent shift in the work environments provides a unique opportunity for organizations to help their employees take control of their finances with tools to spend smarter, reduce debt and save more. Our speakers confirmed that one of the key factors in financial wellbeing is education and raising awareness among employees.
In early September AmCham ran a short survey to discover what our Member Companies plan, in order to alleviate the financial burden of the unexpected inflation and the historically low HUF, in terms of extraordinary compensations. To find the outcomes of the survey please click here.
Following the roundtable discussion members were invited to an informal networking cocktail in Bestia (in the same building as AmCham).
