How big is financial stress in your team? Try our financial stress survey tool

Did you know that 78% of South Africans experience financial stress? And it doesn’t stay at home – it follows your employees to work.
Financial stress shows up at work in all kinds of ways. It can lead to low energy, trouble focusing, missed deadlines, or feeling unmotivated and mentally checking out. Sometimes it even causes physical symptoms like fatigue or tension.
Not ideal for productivity.
Recent results from Wealthbit's Financial Stress Survey show that 4 in 5 employees across South African companies say they regularly worry about money.
That's almost all of them.
58% say financial stress affects their energy and focus at work.
It’s quickly becoming a silent epidemic as most employees won’t speak up about it. But it’s not something to overlook – your team’s financial wellness matters.
So, how is your team really doing? That’s exactly what our survey tool helps you find out
Wealthbit’s Financial Stress Survey Tool is a simple, anonymous way to check in with your team and uncover how financial stress may be affecting their ability to show up at work.

Step 2: Share the survey with your team
We've prepared a simple email template for you – simply add your company-specific link and then your team completes a short, confidential check-in.
They’ll answer a few quick questions, such as:
- Do you experience physical symptoms (e.g. headaches, fatigue, tension) that you think may be caused by financial stress?
- How often do financial worries distract you during work hours?
Have you ever considered taking on a second job, side hustle or gig work due to financial pressure? - Has financial pressure influenced how often you think about or look for new job opportunities?
Step 3: We send you insights on your team's financial stress at different milestones
Once enough people have responded, we’ll send you an aggregated report, highlighting potential red flags and trends that could be impacting performance and morale. As more responses come in, we’ll keep you updated with new reports along the way.
Supporting your team’s financial wellness isn’t just the right thing to do; it’s also good for business.
