It helps to talk about money

As a recognised debt advice centre, the Fürstenberg Institut specialises in supporting your employees and managers with managing their financial challenges before they end up facing insurmountable difficulties. A variety of topics can play a key role here, such as:

Taking precautions when dealing with money

To avoid financial difficulties and debts, it is important to take a proactive approach to managing one’s finances and building up a good level of knowledge on the subject.

Household
budgeting

When creating a budget, the income is compared to the expenses to establish a good overview of one’s own finances. Financial decisions can then be made on a realistic basis.

Debt management

Being in debt is often associated with a high degree of personal stress. It is therefore important and helpful for those concerned to face up to this issue early on and find out about the various steps to take.

Dealing with employees in debt

If employees are in debt, this may have an impact on their performance at work. Being able to offer people support at an early stage (at the latest after a attachment of salary) can be extremely helpful.

Specific consultation requests

Employees turn to our counsellers with a wide variety of issues. The following are some examples:

• My account has been closed. What can I do now?
• We are separating. What are the financial implications for me?
• I was self-employed and got into debt. What can I do about it?
• I am the guarantor for my brother’s loan and now the bank wants its money back.
• My employer says that my salary has been attached. What should I live on now?
• I would like to take a sabbatical. How can I finance that?
• Payments from my health insurance company have ended and I will no longer receive these benefits.
• My father has died and left me with his debts.
• We have moved in together. What is the best way for us to share costs?
• My son is addicted to gambling and I would like to pay off his debts.

When employees are able to count on the support of their employer in times of financial difficulty, their stress level falls, their productivity rises and their quality of life increases.

Support through mental health coaching

Facing up to this issue in good time and seeking support from experts is the first step towards preventing more serious money troubles. It is also important to examine the personal background to the financial problems in an effort to develop the right approach to dealing with money in the future. We also offer your employees this opportunity as part of our Mental Health Coaching service.
