As economic conditions deteriorate, fears of redundancy and anxiety regarding the cost of living once again grip the UK. Financial wellbeing is a key pillar of wider health and wellbeing. Sadly, it’s often overlooked by employers striving to tick the box of colleague wellbeing in the most efficient way possible.

Having struggled with debt through his twenties and thirties, Peter Komolafe is today a qualified financial advisor. He has harnessed his personal experience to help ordinary people create financial security through positive financial habits. In 2020, he founded Conversation of Money (a YouTube Channel and weekly Podcast) to have conversations he wished someone had had with him when he was younger.

Following his delivery of a compelling session at the IoIC festival in 2023, in this conversation, Jen, Dom and Cat chat with Peter about the link between financial wellbeing and engagement and explore how internal communicators can help alleviate monetary worries.
