PerkSpot makes the HR juggling act a little easier
posted on: December 7, 2007
This holiday season, many merchants and suppliers will offer discounts on goods and services to employees of large corporations through employee discount programs. But the human resources professionals who manage these discount programs are inevitably overburdened with year-end tasks, such as performance reviews, that take priority over less urgent tasks like coordinating merchant discounts. Before long, human resources professionals do not have the time or the resources available to effectively administer the corporation’s employee discount program.
As a result, all parties involved lose out:
- HR professionals are further burdened with an ever-expanding to do list
- Employees fail to save money on holiday purchases being unaware of the discounts
available to them
- Merchants fail to generate the additional sales that could be made during the holiday
season
However, outsourcing the management of the corporation’s employee discount program to PerkSpot can address these needs:
- HR professionals handle fewer responsibilities by not having to manage the
participating and prospective merchants
- Employees save money as they become aware of the discounts available to them
- Merchants generate additional holiday sales through increased exposure to interested
employees
