Financial Wellness Workplace Program

Research shows that Namibia’s general population lacks financial knowledge and understanding.With this background, the Financial Literacy Initiative (FLI) is introducing its Financial Wellness Workplace Program to organizations.
The FLI believes that an employee’s financial wellness is just as important as his/her physical wellness.The FLI’s Financial Wellness Workplace Program targets employees in the public and private sector, including SMEs.
The Wellness Program uses a “Training-of-Peer Educators”-approach. The trained Peer Educators conduct the different training modules/sessions with their colleagues. The FLI also maintains a Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) framework which is regularly updated and is designed to provide reports to the company or organization implementing the Financial Wellness Workplace Program.
