What role should employers play in promoting the financial literacy of their staff? How can employers support staff wellbeing by equipping them with the knowledge and skills to make wise financial decisions? And what is the connection between financial literacy and mental health?

GRC Solutions’ Adrian Phoon spoke with Catherine Birchall, Founding Director of Money 101, in a wide-ranging and lively discussion.

Find out

• how our financial literacy education has evolved over the past 20 years, particularly with the advent of the Global Financial Crisis and now the COVID-19 pandemic,
