CuraLinc Healthcare is proud to introduce Financial Navigator, an innovative tool designed to help employees take actionable steps toward financial security and improved mental health while enabling employers to drive meaningful workplace outcomes.  

Financial stress weighs heavily on employees—not just at home, but throughout their workday. It affects their physical and mental health, emotional wellbeing and yes, their productivity too. In fact, a recent survey from PwC showed that employees lose more than 150 hours of productivity annually to financial stress.  

Financial Navigator promotes financial equity across diverse workforces, with tailored resources and expert support to address the unique financial needs of different employee groups—whether that’s managing debt, saving for the future or navigating an immediate challenge. 

"Employees at every income level struggle with financial uncertainty, and that stress has a ripple effect on their mental health and performance at work," said Matt McCreary, Chief Product Officer at CuraLinc Healthcare. "Financial Navigator provides a confidential, user-friendly way for employees to assess their financial health, receive personalized guidance and take actionable steps toward a more secure future." 

The critical connection between financial, mental and physical health 

Employees don't experience financial stress in a vacuum. It's deeply interconnected with mental and physical health. Worrying about money can lead to anxiety, sleep disturbances and even chronic health conditions like high blood pressure. When financial concerns consume employees' thoughts, it affects not only their personal lives but also their ability to focus, perform and thrive at work. 

Employers who acknowledge and address financial wellbeing as part of a broader benefits strategy are more likely to see improvements in employee morale, retention and productivity.

As part of CuraLinc Healthcare's holistic, human-centered approach to employee mental health and wellbeing, this new tool empowers employers to address one of the most significant drivers of workplace stress.
