About

Financial abuse is one of the least visible forms of control, and many people do not realize that a partner restricting their access to money, managing their paycheck, or forcing them into debt counts as abuse. Employers are in an unusual position to help, because payroll, direct deposit, and the employee assistance program are things HR already runs. This awareness survey helps HR and wellbeing teams learn what employees know today and where education would make a difference.

The survey does not ask for a name or email. It starts with familiarity and warning signs, then moves to practical knowledge: the right to choose where a paycheck is deposited, splitting direct deposit across accounts, the risks of joint accounts, and the value of a separate personal account and emergency fund. Questions about personal experience are optional and include a prefer not to answer choice.

Later questions gauge interest in financial literacy workshops, the topics people want covered, awareness of the EAP, and how comfortable they would feel raising financial safety with HR or a manager. At the end, respondents decide whether to share demographic details, and only those who agree are asked for their department and length of service.

The results give a clear baseline for planning workshops, updating payroll communications, and promoting confidential support, without putting anyone on the spot.

Frequently asked questions

Is this survey anonymous?

The form does not ask for names, email addresses, or employee IDs. Department and tenure are collected only if the respondent chooses to share demographic details. To keep responses anonymous, share one general link rather than individual tracked invitations, and report results in aggregate.

Who should run a financial abuse awareness survey?

It suits HR teams, employee assistance program coordinators, wellbeing leads, and benefits managers. It works well ahead of a financial wellness campaign or an awareness month, when you want to know what employees already understand before choosing training topics.

Why does the survey ask about direct deposit and separate accounts?

Controlling where wages go is a common tactic in economic coercion. Many employees do not know they can change or split their direct deposit, or that a personal account in their own name can be an important safety step. These questions show whether payroll communications need to make those options clearer.

How do the optional demographic questions work?

Near the end, respondents are asked whether they are willing to share demographic information. Only those who answer yes see the department and length of service questions. Everyone else can submit right away, which keeps the survey comfortable for people who worry about being identified.

Can I edit the resource and topic lists?

Yes. Update the financial topics and support resources to reflect what your company can actually offer, such as specific workshops, counseling partners, or emergency assistance funds. You can also rename the EAP question if your program uses a different name.

What should we do with the results?

Look for gaps between awareness and confidence, such as employees who know the warning signs but would not feel comfortable raising concerns. Use those gaps to plan workshops, refresh payroll and benefits guidance, and remind staff how to reach confidential support.

Should the survey point people to support?

It is a good idea to add contact details for your EAP or a relevant helpline to the thank-you message. Some respondents may recognize their own situation while answering, and a clear next step makes the survey more supportive.
