Cloud Geeks: Discounts and Financial Advice

Cloud-based IT service provider Cloud Geeks is offering financial advice and assistance to help employees. This includes giving them corporate credit cards to allow them to manage work-related expenses. This ensures they don’t have to use their own money and wait for expenses to be paid, says Cloud Geeks managing director Mike Ianiri.

The firm has also created strategic partnerships with local restaurants and gyms to give staff discounts. And it has invited a local bank mortgage specialist to discuss money matters with staff.

“[We have] guided staff to use the Money Advice Service as they have a really good budget planner they can fill in online, said Ianiri. “Through our group medical scheme, employees are able to speak confidentially to counsellors regarding any mental health issues that money issues may be having on their well-being.

“[We are also] advising our staff to shift to electric cars. They can then use our corporate account to charge the cars rather than petrol/diesel fuel expenses having to be paid on a monthly basis.”
