“One of the things you’ll find from our employees is that thirst for knowledge and to do something different, and keep pushing boundaries. We also run a number of initiatives through our Community Team that bring everyone together. So there’s a real culture of belonging and a shared sense of purpose — but that shared purpose is running at pace and being really innovative.”
"The team love it!"
“We had very good feedback from other Trusts who’d used Perkbox. It wasn’t just the Perks — we were also interested in the celebration and recognition element. That was something that we weren’t doing and this seemed like a good way to integrate it into our general working practices. And of course, our staff can use Perkbox to get lots of benefits they wouldn’t ordinarily get. This gives them a bit more value for money with things like discounts on their shopping and access to all the wellbeing features.”
“In any industry, any organisation, I think that Perkbox itself is a really good resource.”
“We’ve been able to create a culture of recognition and start making a difference for all of our teams in the business.”
"Redeeming just one perk alone creates a really positive environment."
"I love the admin features, we used it in our Town Hall meeting as part of our end of year wrap-up statistics."
"From a culture and engagement perspective, one really important thing we have here at Open GI is ensuring it feels like a level playing field across the company — that no parts of the business feel alienated from the rest of the company. So the way Perkbox can be applied in Macedonia and Poland as well as the UK means we have that level playing field across the company."
"Employee benefits are really central to our reward package and prior to Perkbox we had a degree of inconsistency and a lack of transparency around the type of benefits that we were able to provide."
"Perkbox is very easy to use and offers a huge range of benefits."
“Overall, the outcomes of this survey are very positive in relation to Relationships, Role, and Peer Support. Employees are clear about what is expected of them at work and they know how to go about getting their job done. Employees are clear about the goals and objectives for their departments, and understand how their work fits onto the overall aim of the college."
“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.”
"Perkbox has allowed us to add true value to our benefits package."
"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."
"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."
