Employee / employer satisfaction
Post-programme satisfaction reported by employees and participating employers.
Aggregated, anonymised observations from ANC.h.o.R programmes across 15 employers in France, Germany and the UK. Different measures use different participant subsets. Findings are observational and are not guarantees of individual outcomes.
These figures describe measured programme observations. Where a before/after change is shown, it should be read as an association within the observed cohort—not proof that the programme alone caused the change.
Post-programme satisfaction reported by employees and participating employers.
Share of participating employers requesting an ongoing programme after the initial pilot.
Positive responses rose from 59.4% before the pilot to 72.8% at six-month follow-up.
In a subgroup of 8 employers of roughly 250 employees, mean departures moved from 10 to 4.6 over comparable six-month periods.
Average six-month improvement across 600+ PWO clients. The proprietary index covers dimensions including purchasing power, savings capacity and financial buffer.
Across analysed participants earning €2,500+ per month. About €150/month was actually set aside on average; some remaining capacity was redirected to quality-of-life spending.
ANC.h.o.R defines a financial friction as a recurring cost or structural feature that creates avoidable cost, complexity or inefficiency.
At least one unused or redundant recurring item identified.
Cases where banking costs with realistic reduction potential were identified.
Cases with duplicated or overlapping coverage identified.
These ten selected cases illustrate the type of work performed and are not a statistical sample. Results depend on income, existing costs, implementation and personal priorities.
Implemented in 3 weeks. Cancelled unused subscriptions, renegotiated mobile and insurance contracts, changed bank package and automated monthly savings.
“I expected to be told to spend less. Instead, I found money I was already losing without really noticing. I now save automatically every month without feeling restricted.”
Implemented in 1 month. Consolidated software, separated business and personal accounts, automated tax and savings allocations, and changed broadband provider.
“The biggest change wasn’t earning more. It was finally knowing what my money needed to do every month. My finances feel much more predictable now.”
Implemented in 2 weeks. Reduced fixed costs, reviewed overlapping insurance, structured excess cash and automated monthly transfers.
“I was earning well but had never built a proper system around it. Once everything was structured, saving became something that happened automatically rather than something I had to remember.”
Implemented in 4 weeks. Cancelled low-use subscriptions, reviewed energy and insurance, downgraded banking package and automated an emergency-fund transfer.
“€250 a month felt impossible before. The surprising part was that most of it came from fixing things I barely thought about, not from giving up the things I enjoy.”
Implemented in 5 weeks. Automated savings after payday, reviewed insurance and banking products, removed recurring costs and created fixed bonus-allocation rules.
“My income had increased, but somehow my savings hadn’t. Putting a structure around the money made a much bigger difference than I expected.”
Implemented in 3 weeks. Renegotiated recurring contracts, removed unnecessary subscriptions and created separate emergency and travel savings pots.
“Separating my savings by purpose completely changed how I manage money. Bigger expenses no longer feel like they are undoing months of progress.”
Implemented in 6 weeks. Separated business and personal cash flows, automated tax provisioning, streamlined tools and created a fixed personal savings allocation.
“My finances were profitable but messy. Once the business and personal sides were properly separated, I could finally see how much I could comfortably put aside.”
Implemented in 2 weeks. Changed mobile plan, removed unused memberships and duplicate subscriptions, and automated savings immediately after payday.
“Moving my savings to payday instead of month-end was such a simple change, but it made saving £200 feel surprisingly manageable.”
Implemented in 1 month. Consolidated savings accounts, reduced recurring fees, reviewed insurance and created fixed salary and bonus allocation rules.
“I didn’t have a spending problem; I had an allocation problem. Once every euro had a purpose, the amount I could put toward my goals became much clearer.”
Implemented in 5 weeks. Separated professional and personal spending, reduced software subscriptions and introduced percentage-based tax and savings allocations on every invoice.
“Freelance income will always fluctuate, but my savings don’t feel random anymore. Having percentages automatically allocated whenever I get paid has made a huge difference.”
