11/22 Talk Money Week
Bangor University is pleased to be partnering with the Money and Pensions Service to promote Talk Money Week, from November 7-11th 2022
Information will be shared in the lead up to and during Talk Money Week, to provide colleagues with clear and up-to-date access to internal and external sources of support around financial wellbeing.
Tracy Hibbert, Director of Human Resources said, 鈥淎lthough the University already provides for staff financial wellbeing with a wide range of benefits, we want to do more in terms of supporting and assisting any staff to make future plans, control daily finances, manage financial shock and look at life choices. This session and others which will be highlighted during Talk Money Week will provide staff with those opportunities.鈥
