Reaching out to a diverse employee population


Many of you will have diverse employee populations, with staff based in offices, branches, stores and manufacturing or distribution. It's vital for a voluntary benefits scheme to be accessible by all of your employees whether they have easy access to the internet or not.

Although internet penetration has never been higher and is growing strongly in all demographics, it is not yet near 100%. Thats why  we think it is key to provide employees with discounts wherever they choose to shop - whether it is online, on the phone or in the high street. Reward Gateway provides a three tier model ensuring that access is provided across your employee population. Read more about our multi level approach.

Update on Asperity & Reward Gateway 


Since we launched Asperity last year, after two years of development on our new Reward Gateway employee discount product, we've been overwhelmed by the response from employers.

There were too many providers offering low value schemes that didn't really provide genuine enough discounts for staff that could compete with the increasingly competitive high street.This means that voluntary employee benefits had fallen down the priority list for both employers and providers, reducing the opportunity for employers to benefit from what is arguably the most cost-effective way of motivating and creating loyalty in your workforce (See research by TNS for more on this).
