Just as corporations are under increasing pressure for more efficient worker productivity, so are the various levels of government. Combating the negative effects of financial stress through proper financial management training paves the way for increased worker satisfaction and greater overall productivity. Further, a reduction in financial stress can translate to elevated levels of worker cohesiveness and team building. This greater productivity directly impacts the value of services brought to the primary customer, the public at large.

When it offers financial training opportunities to employees, government entities develop tremendous goodwill as caring and responsive stewards that not only value the public they serve, but also the people who are responsible for so many services. This goodwill can be maximized through greater employee satisfaction, better relationships with various unions and contractors, higher ratings from auditors and reduced criticism from watchdog groups.
