Managing personal finances can be stressful, which impacts on how people feel at work.
Responsible companies acknowledge it. They are getting more and more concerned about the financial wellbeing at the workplace and look for innovative solutions.
On one hand, when Human Resources receive a bailiff request to pledge the salary of an employee, they see firsthand the damages of over indebtedness caused by payday loans or fast cash loans.
On the other hand, in an increasingly competitive labor market, companies can’t continuously raise salaries without limits. They need to find creative ways to retain their talents. They look for building a better working environment.
The launch of Klear Financial Well-being powered by Edenred meets the needs of both employers and employees. Thanks to technology, the online solution provides a smooth experience for all users.
“This partnership with Edenred is a fantastic opportunity for Klear. We have developed great products and a unique expertise. Now we can scale up and offer these benefits to a wide segment of customers”, said Loic Le Pichoux, CEO of Klear.
