About this Event
Join Us to Create A Nation of Savers!
Financial stress is one of the most significant unaddressed liabilities facing modern workplaces, directly impacting staff productivity, engagement, and mental health.
Building emergency savings is now a vital national priority. In line with the government’s Financial Inclusion Strategy, Citysave Credit Union has partnered with the National Coalition for Workplace Savings to help working-age adults across the UK build long-term financial resilience.
To kick off Talk Money Week 2026, Citysave and the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) invite HR directors, business leaders, and wellbeing champions to an exclusive in-person event: Unlocking the Business Benefits of Workplace Savings.
The event will showcase the proven impact of workplace savings already seen across Birmingham and Warwickshire and explore how these successful models can be applied at scale to build workforce resilience across the nation.
With a fantastic lineup of speakers and a light lunch provided, this is an event you won't want to miss. Register today to secure your place!
