ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of Boardroom and Beyond, host Dipa Mistry-Kandola discusses financial literacy and economic education with guest Steve Chilton from Blackfinch Group.
At a time when it's estimated that nearly three quarters of the UK population fall below financial literacy benchmarks, Dipa and Steve explore the role of business leaders in purposefully creating and delivering products that help society and people. They also take a closer look at how and why employees of UK SMEs continue to be underserved with financial guidance, engagement and access to financial products.
The episode also delves into the topics of financial education in schools, individual responsibility and empowerment, and the steps employers and the financial services industry could take to change the narrative around financial products and help people feel more financially empowered in the future.
