Empowering Through Insights
Recent engagement surveys revealed financial wellbeing as a key area where employees felt the pressure most. This insight inspired Next to create a comprehensive financial wellbeing policy in collaboration with Stream.
By integrating academic research into this policy, they took a strategic approach that enables the alignment of various financial support elements into one cohesive framework.
