“Overall, the outcomes of this survey are very positive in relation to Relationships, Role, and Peer Support.

"Perkbox has definitely helped us build our company culture. It's a great opportunity for people to recognise each other, for us to recognise them, and to feel like they get a bit more when they work here because of it."
“Extraordinary means being exceptional, remarkable astonishing and amazing. None of these characteristics are a course of programme, a building, a surplus or deficit budget, or a grade by a regulator. These characteristics describe the thoughts, actions and behaviours needed of our people to achieve great things.”
"Before Perkbox there wasn’t a lot happening in this space. For me, implementing Perkbox was the start of modernising our EVP. The platform will always form a key component of our benefits package. I see us being around for the long haul."
"It’s also been nice to actually have transparency and insight into what other people are doing in their division. Before it was just always locked within a division. And even from a corporate services perspective — where I sit — it’s just fantastic to be a part of one platform and be able to have a lot of different voices on it."
“We have merchandisers who work out in the field, office workers and remote workers, so we wanted a solution that was varied and accessible enough to provide value for everyone.”
"We want to be an employer of choice and attract the best talent. Offering something like Perkbox is a great attraction tool."
“The best thing about the platform is that it’s so versatile. There’s something for everyone.”
“Perkbox is a real statement of intent as to the commitment and thought process that goes to providing an environment where our people are well looked after, well treated and respected by the senior leaders.”
“Over the last year Perkbox, taken with other initiatives we've implemented, has reduced staff turnover by 8%.”
“Everybody needs a little bit of a boost now and again and working in Further Education is particularly challenging sometimes.”
“Having Perkbox has impacted my experience at West London College because it's made me enjoy coming into work and it's also made me feel like a valuable member of the team.”
“Having something like Perkbox, it shows that our employers are saying, ‘we know what you do and we know it's hard, so we want to reward you for that because you don't have to do it’.”
"There is such a huge variety of perks available!"
“It’s something extra that people really appreciate. Everyone's got different expectations, different lifestyles. Someone might want to spend on coffee, someone might want to spend on clothes, someone on Amazon. There are so many different choices on Perkbox they like to engage with, and the platform is very easy to navigate.”
