Resources to help you build stronger relationships with employers
Helping you have better conversations and build stronger relationships with employers
Employees are increasingly turning to their workplace organisations for assistance with various aspects of their wellbeing. However, many don’t have access to the necessary resources to support the holistic health of their workforce. Superannuation funds and insurers can help bridge this gap.
Employer Assist aims to make it easier for you to have valuable conversations with employers around topics like life insurance and employee health. Below you’ll find a range of useful tools and resources focusing on various aspects of financial, physical and mental health, which you can curate and pass on to your employer partners. These resources include easy-to-understand fact sheets, blog or newsletter articles, videos as well as guides on how an employer might run a campaign to share these with their employees to promote better health.
If you have any questions, please reach out to your TAL Partnership Manager.

Financial Health
Our research has revealed one in four employees are currently experiencing a high level of financial stress.
Financial stress can lead to employees becoming seriously ill or injured, which not only impacts the employees' health, but can also have profound impacts for employers.
It also shows there is a strong correlation between financial literacy and financial stress.
The good news is that employers and superannuation funds have an opportunity to improve employee financial literacy and reduce financial stress.
