This article investigates the relationship between corporate financial education and quality of work life (QWL), considering contributions from economic psychology and behavioral finance. The aim is to analyze how financial education programs, promoted by Human Resources departments, positively impact employees' financial, emotional, and productive well-being. The research is based on theoretical reviews, case studies, and secondary data that highlight the correlation between financial literacy and improved organizational performance indicators. The results show that introducing financial education initiatives into the corporate environment not only reduces employees' financial stress but also enhances productivity, talent retention, and job satisfaction.
