What we’ve learned from our Filipino Customers…
8% of Filipino adults answer three basic financial literacy-related questions from BSP correctly, and 2 out of 3 adults cannot differentiate between simple and compound interest.
42% of Filipino workers have 3 to 5 dependents, and more are challenged by supporting their (sometimes grown)children (sometimes grown) and further aiding elderly parents.
Workers with low financial literacy and high financial obligations are more than four times as likely to experience fatigue, headaches, and mental health issues. They are also twice as likely to report poor health overall, leading to more sick days, increased absenteeism and decreased productivity.
The pandemic has heightened these concerns. Holistic financial wellness programs have the power to establish a more satisfied, engaged, and productive workforce. SAVii provides HR teams with turnkey financial literacy training to empower your workforce.

Losing Your Job and Moving Forward with Patricia Paredes
We are all going through a tough time. Everyone is grappling with the uncertainty brought about by a global health emergency. One of the effects has been massive unemployment & underemployment – many of us are experiencing lower incomes than usual, or no income at all for the moment. We explored this situation with Patricia Paredes, whose employer shut down in April – she was so calm and cool when we interviewed her for the Level Up Podcast, we just had to understand how she was keeping it so positive during such a tough time.
