Employee savings and discounts for SMEs
Special offers, discounts and savings on a plethora of goods and services have been available for employees at the UK’s larger organisations for many years through online platforms. Yet for smaller companies, the cost and hassle associated with offering this type of benefit has been prohibitive and made it an inaccessible and unattractive option.
Fortunately, this is no longer the case.
Accor Services has developed a service specifically for organisations employing less than 500 people. MyWorkOffers enables employees to save money on day to day shopping, lifestyle and entertainment purchases, days out and holidays.
The online platform contains over 200 offers at any one time including discounted shopping vouchers for over 20 of the leading high street stores and supermarkets.
“The service can save employees considerable amounts of money. Many people save hundreds of pounds every year and at a time when it’s difficult to offer employees a pay rise or core benefits, MyWorkOffers represents an easy and highly cost effective way for SMEs to give something extra to their employees. Essentially it’s a great way to motivate and enhance performance within your business,” explains Andy Philpott, marketing director at Accor Services.
MyWorkOffers removes all the administration issues from employers; it removes the hassle associated with issuing employee login details and benefit communications, which has made this type of benefit so unattractive for SMEs. Employers can now provide their employees with access to an employer branded online platform of special offers and discounts.
“MyWorkOffers was developed in response to high customer demand,” explains Andy Philpott. “Thousands of SME employees who use our childcare vouchers have had access to an online platform of offers for some time and many of these organisations have asked us to find a cost effective way to extend this offering to all employees within their business. We’re pleased to offer them MyWorkOffers and do exactly this!”
