Tipping point: How employers can tackle the UK's financial wellbeing crisis
Wednesday, 11th February 2026
12:00pm - 1:00pm GMT

UK financial wellbeing is at a critical tipping point.

The latest FinWell Index, the UK’s most comprehensive measure of financial wellbeing, reveals a worrying decline in core financial capabilities. Debt management has fallen by 2.5%, the ability to cover monthly essentials is down by 2.4%, and the financial wellbeing gap between men and women has surged by an alarming 29% in just one year. Other groups, including single parents and students, are also experiencing growing financial strain.

In this webinar, Owain Service, CEO of CogCo, is joined by Ugne Sapezinskaite, Strategic Account Director at Stream, to explore what the data tells us about the current employee experience and what employers can do next.

The webinar will cover:

  • The key findings from the latest FinWell Index and what they reveal about UK financial wellbeing

  • The impact of financial stress on the employee experience and business outcomes

  • Practical actions HR leaders can take to support financial wellbeing at scale
