This month our Wellbeing focus is Finance. Over the coming month we will be sharing resources and a range of ideas to help support your financial wellbeing.
We all have to make decisions about money every day and throughout our lifetimes and there is a lot of evidence to show that money and health are intertwined.
More than half of people who experienced mental ill health in the last three years report that thinking about money makes them anxious and many people delay dealing with their money problems longer than they should. Finances are a core part of our lives and can be the root of many issues. Asking for help early on may help prevent problems later down the line.
Care first Support
Cemex offers all employees a free, confidential employee assistance programme (EAP) called Lifestyle Support, operated by Care first. Lifestyle Support is easy to access, available 24/7 and can provide help and support with a wide range of issues or concerns, including finance.
If you are experiencing problems with finances or dealing with debt, you can contact Care first.
We recognise that having money worries or being in debt can make us feel isolated, scared and anxious. It can also have a negative effect on our work, our health and our family. Making that initial request for help is always the most difficult – but once you have made that call, you have taken the first step towards getting the right help to a better quality of life.
Free seminar

How to seek help
Lifestyle Support is easy to access, available 24/7 and can provide help and support with a wide range of issues or concerns such as family matters, debt, relationships, bereavement, depression and anxiety. It is run by a separate provider and isn’t part of Cemex – we don’t receive any employee specific information from them.
You can contact the Employee Assistance Line (Lifestyle Support) for confidential advice and support – call 0808 168 2143 or visit www.lifestyle-support.co.uk (Username: cemex Password: cemex).
