As an employee discount program provider, PerkSpot seeks to offer human resource professionals a wide array of discounts on popular goods and services in addition to traditional voluntary benefits like group home and auto insurance. As a voluntary benefit, employees are not obligated to participate, and PerkSpot can provide them with access to attractive rates despite what has traditionally been available in the past. Is this a benefit you are currently offering to your employees?
PerkSpot can help hr professionals think through the voluntary benefits that could be available to your employees. From our experience, this is a corporate perk that is increasingly important to offer employees in order to stay competitive with today’s benefits offerings.

We’d like to share an idea that many of our clients have used to reward and recognize their employees. Human resource professionals are often tasked with the strategy and execution of any employee recognition efforts, and we have noticed that many of our corporate clients have started to use PerkSpot discounts for this purpose. While PerkSpot is primarily an employee discount program, human resource administrators are using deep discounts on movie tickets, restaurant gift certificates, and movie rentals as their means of recognizing their employees. A common discount we have seen used for this purpose is our AMC Theatres discount.
AMC Theatre pre-paid tickets are offered at a savings of up to 35% off the regular box office price and can be used at any of the chain’s locations for any show, 7 days a week.
How do you recognize and reward your employees?

Original post from February 8, 2008:
At PerkSpot, we try to make lives a little better and simpler through our employee discount programs. How do we accomplish this? Employees save money on everyday purchases, program administrators are relieved of day-to-day operations to focus on core responsibilities, and merchants that offer discounts see additional business by participating in our programs. Everyone wins.
