Perkbox reimagines global reward and benefits for the post-pandemic world
LONDON, Aug. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Perkbox [ https://www.perkbox.com/uk ], the global benefits and reward 
platform, today announces its new offering to help employers care for, connect 
with, and celebrate their people around the world.

The new location agnostic Perkbox platform enables employers to harmonise their 
global employee experience and create cost and time efficiencies, while 
delivering bespoke wellbeing, recognition, and engagement offerings to each 
employee. Perkbox already supports over 5,000 businesses and more than 600,000 
users across more than 34 countries.

The new platform launch comes as HR leaders worldwide grapple with a unique set 
of circumstances, brought about, or accelerated, by the COVID-19 pandemic:

- Employee wellbeing is in freefall. Nine in ten employees faced new wellbeing 
challenges in 2020[1], as burnout from balancing work and life becomes a 
greater issue
- The employee/employer relationship is changing. Work from home-induced 
introspection has left many people looking for more from their employer and 
work.
- International, distributed working models are on the rise. Hybrid and remote 
working are making it more difficult to create a clear and attractive 
organisational culture across multiple locations.
- There's a new talent landscape. New ways of working have also unlocked a 
truly international pool of talent, giving businesses the option to recruit 
from anywhere in the world.

In response, Perkbox's reimagined, unified platform helps HR leaders create a 
stronger employee value proposition, built around caring for, connecting with, 
and celebrating employees, wherever they're based. 

Employees can access the platform via web or a powerful single app. It's 
organised into four 'hubs', each offering support in a key area, and integrates 
seamlessly with existing single sign on (SSO) and human resources information 
systems (HRIS) – creating a frictionless experience for both employees and HR 
administrators. 

Wellness hub. Supporting employees' wellbeing is vital in itself, and it boosts 
retention and engagement.[2] The Wellness hub enables employers to meaningfully 
support this area by providing access to carefully curated, constantly updated 
wellbeing content. Employees can choose what works for them - from hypnosis and 
therapy audios to HIIT workouts and meditation guides. 

Perks hub. Perks hub enables employers to overcome the stifling complexity of 
the global benefits market, while providing employees with the huge variety of 
global deals, discounts and benefits needed to fulfil individual requirements. 
There is also the option for employers to offer a monthly 'Flexi points' 
allowance. Employees can redeem these, at no cost to themselves, against a wide 
range of 'Flexi Perks', from coffees and entertainment subscriptions to 
mindfulness apps - and much more. 

Celebration hub. Building a culture of appreciation can help drive motivation 
and engagement.  Celebration hub helps strengthen the connections between all 
employees and employers, regardless of location, by enabling leaders to visibly 
recognise and reward their people in a personalised way. Recognitions can also 
be linked to company values – helping businesses reward behaviours that embody 
what they stand for. 

Culture hub. This helps create cultural alignment and a greater sense of 
togetherness across all parts of the business, by providing a single source for 
news and company initiatives.  It reduces reliance on leaders in each location 
to cascade information – saving their time and that of HR leaders. 

Gautam Sahgal, CEO, Perkbox comments: "Organisations are becoming increasingly 
diverse – with people of different demographics spread across different 
geographies. This is presenting HR leaders with a two-pronged challenge: how to 
create a clear, common, and compelling culture for the evolving, international 
workforce. And how to create a reward and benefits offering that provides 
genuine value to everybody, wherever they are.

"We want Perkbox to be the simple, cost-effective answer to the global 
challenges and opportunities the new age of work poses. The platform is the 
result of an incredibly in-depth investigation into what our clients truly want 
from us. We took the time to ask HR leaders why they chose Perkbox and, in 
today's working world, the ability to harmonise wellbeing, recognition and 
engagement across markets was seen as vital. This is the strategic imperative 
to help organisations attract, retain and inspire the talent they need to 
succeed."
