The Financial Freedom Workplace Program

Your benefits package assumes your people know how to use it. Most of them do not.

The Financial Freedom Workplace Program. An 8 week live cohort that turns financial stress into financial capability, delivered by an operator who spent two decades inside financial services and healthcare.

92 NPS. 4.78 out of 5 facilitator rating.

The business case

Financial stress is already on your P&L. It is just not labeled.

PwC's 2026 Employee Financial Wellness Survey of roughly 3,500 US employees found:

59%
are stressed about their finances right now
57%
say money is the single biggest stressor in their life
59%
say their financial situation is hurting their productivity at work
5x
more likely to be distracted on the job, losing more than three work hours a week

Financially stressed employees are five times more likely to be distracted on the job, and typically lose more than three work hours a week to money concerns. Financial stress is degrading mental health for 74 percent, sleep for 74 percent, self-esteem for 67 percent, and physical health for 65 percent.

Source: PwC 2026 Employee Financial Wellness Survey.

Read those last two lines again as an operations problem rather than a wellness problem. Distraction becomes error rate. Sleep becomes safety incidents. Health becomes claims cost. Stress becomes attrition, and attrition becomes recruiting spend.

You are already paying for employee financial stress. The only open question is whether you spend anything to reduce it.

Why this is different

Apps inform. We transform.

Most financial wellness spend goes to platforms. Platforms are useful and they are also mostly unopened. Login rates are the industry's quiet embarrassment.

This program is live, cohort based, and facilitated. People show up because other people are showing up. They do the work because they are known by name. They change behavior because someone with real operating credibility is in the room asking what they did with last week's assignment.

The facilitator

An operator who learned to teach.

Najma Zanelli spent 20 years at JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, and Humana before founding NAZ Global Consultancy. She has run Medicare Advantage operations, New York State managed care compliance, and provider data at enterprise scale. She is a Certified Money Coach and Certified Life Coach.

She is not a motivational speaker who read a book about finance. She is a finance and healthcare operator who learned to teach.
