Employee Financial Stress Impacts Work Performance

Various companies have estimated the cost to employers from employee financial stress between $400 per employee per year to 20 hours a month per employee.

In January 2012, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), released a survey which asked:
"...about... the impact of employees' personal financial challenges upon work performance, roughly one in five—22 percent—of HR professionals cited a "large impact." Sixty-one percent noted "some impact" while 16 percent responded, "slight impact." Only two percent of HR professionals observed "no impact" upon workers.
