‘Train Your Money to Sit’ TRAINING EMPLOYEES FOR FINANCIAL SUCCESS
As an employee-owned company, we have a unique interest in our company’s financial performance. But what about our own? I used to frame houses before the ‘08-’09 housing market collapse. Overtime was abundant, and I was in the hustle, making decent money. However, I remember one payday in particular. It was lunchtime, and the foreman just handed out paychecks. As we all sat around in the shade of the tool container, we opened them up in between bites of our various sandwiches. My lead guy, a former punk rocker in his early 30s, was sitting on the tailgate of his truck a few feet away from me. After he saw his check, he grabbed his red and white Igloo lunchbox and
wages to pay back child support, making his two-week paycheck much less than he expected. While this anecdote certainly does not show model employee-owner behavior, I use it as a cautionary tale when coaching younger employees. Inattention to financial obligations will catch up eventually, and living paycheck to paycheck is a precarious situation to be in when unexpected expenses occur. Franklin cares about our financial wellness and will continue to provide tools to help! Throughout Q1 and Q2, Franklin’s money coach, Janice Pierce of Achieve Finance, visited each FBS location. She has a program called Train Your Money to Sit, an online course comprised of 28 short lessons teaching money management. The program is valued at $100, but FBS employees can take the entire course online for FREE. The course is taken at your pace, and Janice has even permitted us to share it with family members. The recordings are 11 minutes long and will help you learn how to budget, save, enjoy your money, and set meaningful financial goals. We hope you will take advantage of this tool.
