Support for staff facing cost of living pressures is continuing to be highlighted across NHS Lanarkshire, with a range of resources and support available to help colleagues manage their financial wellbeing.
A range of support is available to help with financial wellbeing – from practical advice and guidance through to opportunities to access support in person.
Lesley Mackay, Staff Health and Wellbeing, said: “We know that many of our staff are continuing to feel the impact of rising living costs. It’s important that people know support is available and that they feel confident accessing it.
“Whether that’s practical financial advice, signposting to partner services or simply having a conversation, we want staff to know they don’t have to manage this on their own.”
Through our Staff Health and Wellbeing (SHWB) services, you can access support including:
- Dedicated cost of living and financial wellbeing resources online
- Advice and guidance from partner organisations such as Citizens Advice Bureau and local Money Matters services
- Financial wellbeing sessions and webinars, covering topics such as managing money, making the most of your income and understanding pensions
Colleagues from our Health Improvement team are also available to speak directly with staff about financial wellbeing and can help connect you with the right support.
Support will continue to be highlighted as part of Staff Health and Wellbeing Week, with opportunities to meet services, take part in sessions and access advice in a supportive environment.
If you’re looking for support or just want to find out what’s available, we encourage you to take a few minutes to explore the resources:
