At MECCA, 94% of our team of around 7,000 are women. Many are in their first jobs, supporting families and planning for the future. Financial literacy is one of the most powerful, but often overlooked levers towards gender equality. It isn’t just about dollars and cents, it’s a pathway to independence, security and opportunity. That's why we created MECCAnomics - a first-of-its-kind financial wellbeing program for our team. And we invited Scott Pape, the Barefoot Investor and one of the most respected voices in financial literacy in the country, to help us create its first chapter: ten short, sharp lessons and a guided journal to help build financial confidence from the ground up. It's practical, bite-sized and has actionable guidance for everyday life. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gaQd_jR2
The Barefoot Investor was the first personal finance book I had ever read, my father gave it to me when I was 15 and it made such an impact on me. The bucketing method in particular has always stuck with me. This is such a great way to look after your team, thank you MECCA Brands.

2moAbsolutely love this initiative! As someone who’s already a fan of both Mecca and Scott Pape, seeing them come together to champion financial literacy — especially for young women entering the workforce — is inspiring. Practical, empowering, and long overdue. This kind of leadership sets a new benchmark for what workplace wellbeing can look like.
