Inform. Entertain. Educate.

It’s our magic formula. And it works. We take something that’s traditionally been scary and boring – getting one’s personal financial affairs into order – and turn it into a life-changing experience for you and your company.

Selecting the right approach for your organisation.

Most people have never been deliberately taught about managing money and have only learnt bits and pieces from their parents and friends. And more often than not, they’ve learnt what NOT to do, not necessarily what they should be doing. The good news is that money management is an acquired skill and can now be learnt in an engaging and fun way.

TMS FACT # 7 Think debt is low-income problem? Think again.

Among consumers with annual incomes of R300k - R500k, debt to disposable income was just over 100%. For those earning R500k - R750k, the level was 130%, and for those earning more than R750k, the level fell to just under 120%.

TMS FACT # 17

Studies in the USA show that changing employee’s financial behaviour is actually easier than changing their diet and exercise habits.
The result? Decrease in stress and related health-care costs.

TMS FACT # 25

Most employees agree that January is ‘the longest month of the year’ due to receiving their pay too early in December. This invariably means staff begin the year with low morale instead of arriving back rested and full of energy.

The Money School has extensive experience creating & implementing successful Employee Financial Education programs for a wide range of clients, including some major financial services companies in South Africa.

The Money School offers two typical training options:

On successful completion of the course, attendees will be able to:

Define the goals of the roll out
Understand the landscape and culture within the business
Select an effective blend of programs to deliver the desired result
Assess the logistical constraints / requirements to running workshops
Suggest a communication strategy to drive uptake of the service

Set up reports to analyse employee feedback and pick up trends
Discuss measurements within the business to monitor ROI

Our sessions are kept practical and full of insights gained through real life experiences shared by past Money School graduates.

2. Bespoke training and solutions

Any of our workshops listed below can also be tailored, supplemented or modified as a once off approach to service your company’s requirements, or as part of a custom-designed solution for your business.
Here are some of the Workshops on offer:

DID YOU KNOW?

All our programs include aspects of how wealthy people think, behave and, critically – manage their money differently to the masses. We deliver easy to apply steps based on research and case studies, which demonstrates how middle of the road income earners have taken charge of their money to create financial independence.

The Money School takes pride in our ability to unpack complicated financial mathematics in a way that non-financial people can relate to. This detail is one of the biggest barriers for new money managers and needs to be addressed in a very particular way in order to be understood and applied effectively.

By collaborating with savvy money managers our Money Coaches are able to equip consumers with the nuts and bolts of how money is made when transacting with retailers, banks and collection agencies. This knowledge empowers your staff, enabling them to better understand, and negotiate optimal transactional terms in any credit situation.

Learners are then shown ways to apply their newly acquired financial acumen into the family environment. Money can create complex issues in the home and implementation can often be met with resistance to change. The benefits, to your corporate bottom line, soon follow.
