Financial stress is a silent burden many employees carry into the workplace. It's not just about having too many bills or not enough money; it affects how people perform and feel at work. When financial worries creep into the workplace, they can erode an employee's focus, engagement, and loyalty. Imagine trying to concentrate on a big project while worrying about paying rent or unexpected medical bills. It's tough, right? This constant worry can make employees less invested in their jobs and more likely to leave for better financial opportunities.
