What do employees want?

In terms of discounts, flexibility and choice. Simple.

With our experience as the leading provider of employee discount schemes, we've built up a good understanding of what employees want. Through our management information system we can see which offers and benefits work the best. No-one is better placed to help you implement an employee discount or integrated voluntary benefit scheme for your organisation.

We started off with 5 basic premises. Not rocket science, but you'd be surprised how often the basics can be overlooked. These are underpinned by the Asperity Discounts Charter where you can see how we maintain the integrity of what we do as we develop the programme.

The 5 key things that make an employee discount scheme really popular and well used are:

  • Genuine employee discounts
    Employees want real staff discounts on a large range of products that they buy across the whole year. Schemes that focus just on selling end of line or distressed stock tend to be unpopular.

  • Choice of retailers
    It's important to provide staff with a choice of retailers so that employees can shop for the best price or continue to shop at their favourite stores, whilst receiving a discount. Reward Gateway is the only employee benefits programme with a choice of over 1500 retailers, with dozens of competing retailers in each category. This means that your employees get a choice of where to shop, whilst benefiting from a great staff discount.

  • Real, exclusive advantage
    Competition in the high street is tough and prices for many products are coming down all the time. Employees want to know that the deal they are getting through an employee discounts scheme is a genuine, exclusive advantage and can't be easily beaten by shopping around. Reward Gateway's unique Cashback technology combined with traditionally negotiated staff discounts ensures that our deals keep ahead of high-street offers and provide employees with real advantage.

  • Easy access to staff discounts
    To be used regularly, busy employees need schemes to be easily accessible. Reward Gateway is easy to use and the online service can be securely accessed from work or from home, from anywhere with an internet connection. Regular opt-in email newsletters ensure that new and seasonal offers are front of mind with staff so that discounts can be easily obtained. For organisations with large numbers of employees without internet access, we can offer telephone ordering for part of our portfolio with promotion via a printed guide.

  • Great communication
    With greater strains on everyone's time, employees need effective communication to ensure that they receive the benefits of the scheme when they need them. Reward Gateway comes with a great range of ready-to-use communications materials and a sophisticated opt-in email newsletter highlighting key offers and also offering advice and money saving tips. Over 85% of our users opt-in to receive the newsletter, demonstrating its popularity.

Reward Gateway has been built from the ground up with a deep understanding of these employee preferences, which is why leading employers are now integrating Reward Gateway into their employee benefits and staff discounts portfolio.
