Kiwis finances are giving them a headache - much more than during the pandemic

A report by Telus Health, covering data from 2020 till this year, shows 54-percent of workers surveyed cited financial concerns as their main source of stress.

36-percent say mental health directly impacts their motivation at work.

Telus Health New Zealand General Manager Julie Cressey says during the Covid-pandemic people didn't spend as much money, simply because they couldn't.

She says a lot of the research shows people felt better about their finances then.
