The training given is on Personal Finance and Finance for Non-Financial People (FFNFP).

By attending these workshops employees will be less stressed about their finances and hence will be more productive. Also they will be gaining a new skill which they can potentially apply to their own role.

For L&D teams this will help them to achieve their CSR requirements.

Women and money (and our relationship with money) workshop includes:

1. Why is it important?

2. Knowing your attitude to money

3. Goal setting

4. Budgeting

5. Getting control of your debts

6. Setting a savings goal

7. Plan for moving forward

Throughout the workshop examples and case studies are used to illustrate the point and the attendees are encouraged to participate.

“Anna has helped me think more about my finances and how I should start focusing more on what I want in life and how I can reach my goals. It’s really helped me to realise that I can achieve the impossible in time.”
