With two hundred thousand
colleagues, the company has the potential to use its
massive buying power to obtain substantial discounts
for its people.
The company also has the opportunity
to educate and inform its people about
financial responsibility, investments, and other
savings instruments. It could set up a program to
teach interested colleagues about the many
investment opportunities available to them - RRSPs,
stock purchase plans, TFSAs. The colleagues could
receive financial literature, attend seminars with
experts, and view online courses.
This would help in employee retention, give people
financial independence, and teach them about
investment principles and savings programs.
