PerkSpot helps fulfill a recently developed void for companies and their talent management strategies: restoring the employer-employee bond. Previously, employers proposed ‘if you are a reliable worker, I will guarantee you a job and benefits for the life of the company’ and employees responded ‘I am grateful for this job and will work hard for you until I retire.’ Outsourcing, the dot com era, the exodus of baby boomers from the workforce, spectacular company failures and corporate scandals have all contributed to the dissolution of this bond. As all industries must do, human resources departments and talent management strategies must evolve to survive and potentially capitalize on these trends.
To deal with these larger problems and changes, companies have discovered new ways to build employee loyalty. Further proving this underlying change, an entirely new industry has emerged that caters to building a strategy around recruiting, developing, and retaining employees. PerkSpot was created to help fulfill this need by offering customized employee discount programs that serve as an added perk for company employees. PerkSpot can help showcase additional voluntary benefits that might just give a company that extra edge needed to achieve success in its employee relations. PerkSpot also gives human resource administrators more time to focus on their core job responsibilities by maintaining the employee discount program, managing merchant relationships, and marketing the program to company employees.
