The Affects of Debt to an Employee

Management and Corporate Leaders always want to perform their companies at their optimal levels. One of the primary ways of doing this is by ensuring that their employees work in stress free environments at their workplace, however sometimes despite company’s best intentions employees’ personal problems start to affect their job performance. Research shows that one of the primary contributors of employee’s personal problems are their unmanageable financial problems and stress & anxiety occurred due to these personal financial problems.

Employees with unmanageable financial debt and poor financial situations tend to underperform compared to the employees who don’t have any debt or poor financial situations. These types of employees are often observed to be also less concentrated at work because their mind is preoccupied, and they tend to focus more on their personal financial problems. Let us all see How financial debts affects overall performance of an employee.

Effect of unmanageable debt on Employee Productivity and Company’s performance:

Mental conflicts in concentrating between office work and personal life can lead to employee’s withdrawal, which in turn may lead to decreased productivity at work and may manifest in following symptoms.

Absenteeism

Tardiness

Conflict with other employees and managers

Reduced employee productivity

Lowered employee morale

Loss of revenue due to inability in meeting targets

Accidents and increased risk taking

Lack of employee’s focus on organization’s goals and objectives

Suboptimal use of designated working hours due to dealing with personal financial issues

Stealing of company’s property.

As the number of poor financial choices increase for an employee, the resulting consequences have an increasingly negative effect at work. Research shows that financially unwell employees or employees who are in unmanageable debt, waste at least 20 hours a month in dealing and handling their personal financial issues while they are at work. These employees prove costly to the company as they are unable to perform at their 100 percent efficiency. Employees who have managed their finances well proves to be among your best performing employees.
