NMG Financial Wellness

Shielding your employees from financial exploitation
South Africa’s economic challenges are impacting both businesses and their employees. Financially struggling workers face exploitation by lenders through dubious practices, being misled into unnecessary loans, unwanted insurance, and costly products, exacerbating their financial situation. These financial difficulties contribute to workforce issues such as absenteeism, low morale, decreased productivity, and employees even resigning to tap into retirement funds.

Why choose NMG Financial Wellness for your employees?

We blend technology with hands-on counselling and for this reason we partnered with EmpowerFS, who can offer comprehensive support to your employees facing financial challenges by:

  • Protecting staff from unscrupulous credit providers and their costly, reckless lending practices
  • Defending employees against unethical and overpriced debt collectors
  • Advising on the most suitable credit options
  • Advancing zero-interest, zero-fees emergency cash assistance without any cost to the employer or employee 
  • Determining whether staff are over-insured through multiple credit life or funeral insurance policies and consolidating these to save costs
  • Empowering staff with improved financial literacy to make better financial decisions
How it works
Employees connect directly with this service through WhatsApp, and EmpowerFS handle the rest. Their services come at no cost to the employer or employee, as compensation is based solely on consolidating existing services into more efficient alternatives. Additionally, by integrating directly with your payroll system, they can automate the provision of payslips and other relevant documents, alleviating the administrative workload for HR.
