Pluxee and Attivo join forces to tackle UK workforce financial stress with a new life-stage led financial planning solution

The launch marks the latest expansion of Pluxee’s Employee Experience Platform, enhancing financial wellbeing alongside savings, salary sacrifice and lifestyle support.

Milton Keynes, UK: 21st April 2026 - Employee benefits and engagement partner Pluxee UK has partnered with chartered, independent financial planners Attivo, to introduce a comprehensive financial wellbeing pathway that supports employees through every stage of their life, from hire to retire.

Financial pressures across the UK are increasingly affecting employees’ wellbeing and ability to perform at work. With 92% of employees experiencing financial stress in the past year and 89% saying it impacts their performance, the effects on organisations are unmistakable. A significant driver of this stress is a lack of retirement readiness and coherent long-term financial plans, which undermines employees’ overall financial resilience. Consequently, UK businesses now lose an estimated £10.3 billion annually to absenteeism linked to financial stress.

To help employers address these pressures in a meaningful and sustainable way, Pluxee and Attivo have developed a new Financial Wellbeing Hub that supports better day-to-day money habits, creating a more secure and resilient future. Together, they're enabling employees to make smarter, more confident financial decisions on payday and every day thereafter.

A life-ready approach to financial wellbeing to support the milestones that matter

The new offering is structured around the key stages of an employee’s financial journey, recognising that people’s needs evolve as their careers and personal lives progress. From early career and life milestones to retirement planning, the pathway provides employees with practical, personalised support throughout every major decision.

Employees will gain access to:

  • Life-stage content hubs, featuring guides, tips, checklists and financial planning tools, covering everything from pension awareness to retirement readiness
  • Interactive tools, including retirement and mortgage calculators
  • Exclusive webinars and events hosted by Attivo’s financial planning experts
  • Complimentary one-to-one consultations with Attivo’s regulated financial planners  

This integrated approach ensures employees receive guidance that is accessible, relevant and action-oriented, supporting them at every step of their financial journey.

Jonathan Attia, CEO of Pluxee UK, said: 

“Financial stress has become one of the biggest barriers to productivity and long-term performance. Employers need solutions that go beyond short-term fixes and help people build real financial confidence.

Our partnership with Attivo creates a clear, accessible pathway that supports employees through every life stage. By embedding this into the Pluxee platform at no extra cost to employers, we’re helping organisations show up for their people in a meaningful and measurable way.”

Stephen Harper, Chairman of Attivo, added: 

“People make better decisions for the long-term when they understand their financial options clearly and early. That's why we're providing valuable information at each life stage to ensure every employee Pluxee reaches has everything they need to stay on top of their money and achieve their goals. This partnership allows us to bring trusted, regulated financial guidance to employees exactly when they need it, ensuring they feel supported through every milestone in their financial life.”
