Do you know that 78% of employees find it challenging to understand their company’s financial data and metrics? (Workplace Literacy Project)
In today’s data-driven business world, financial literacy is no longer a luxury reserved for finance professionals. Every employee, regardless of their role or department, needs to understand the financial fundamentals to make informed decisions and contribute to the organization’s success.
The Challenges of Financial Illiteracy
Lack of financial literacy can have far-reaching consequences for both individuals and organizations:
- Inability to interpret financial statements and metrics
- Difficulty understanding the impact of business decisions on financial performance
- Miscommunication and misalignment between teams
- Reduced efficiency and productivity due to financial knowledge gaps
- Missed opportunities for cost savings and revenue growth

Without a solid foundation in financial literacy, non-finance teams struggle to grasp the bigger picture and make strategic decisions that drive business growth and profitability.
