The Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) is an arms-length body of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) with a responsibility to provide advice, information and guidance to enhance people’s understanding and knowledge of financial matters and their ability to manage their own financial affairs. This is done directly through free and impartial services designed to help people make the most of their money and pensions.

We sat down with Paul Fox, Regional Partnerships Manager at Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) to discuss financial wellbeing and why the financial wellness and education of staff should be a priority for employers.

This episode offers a wealth of valuable insights and practical advice as Paul shares lots of easy, practical tips for things that organisations – with the support of the Money and Pensions Service – can do.
