This eye-opening article highlights the value of securing the identities of employees at work and off the job. The article suggests that the average loss to a company experiencing a security breach is as much as $92,000 per victim and 1,600 work hours per incident. Even when an individual loses their identity individually it can cost a company 600 hours. Never has security been a more crucial factor when considering employee discount program providers. PerkSpot offers human resources professionals a secure network of benefits for their employees in addition to discounts on identify theft and security services.

When it comes to employee discounts, deals and voluntary benefits, PerkSpot caters to the whole family.

America’s current economic downturn is causing many employees to reevaluate their spending habits. Employees are looking to their voluntary benefit options to help save income on necessary purchases. According to a recent article from Voluntary.com about voluntary benefits, Bob Reiff, Senior Vice President for The Hartford’s Group Benefits Division states that: “We are predicting enrollment events to double from last year to this year. But it could be even greater, since we’ve already seen enrollment activities jump 51% from first quarter 2007 to the first quarter of 2008.”
PerkSpot helps corporations meet employee demand for voluntary benefit packages and enrollment education. PerkSpot creates voluntary programs that bring employees savings on necessary services like home and auto insurance, pet insurance and legal services. PerkSpot’s comprehensive voluntary programs easily fit into employer benefits communication materials and benefit enrollment events. This meets the demand and gives employees the opportunity to take advantage of their savings opportunities immediately.

As a corporate perk or extra benefit to your employees, the last thing an employee discount program should be is frustrating. In fact, this benefit should be easy to find, easy to use and full of savings opportunities. PerkSpot strives to optimize all of these areas for its clients without losing sight of how customer service can either make or break an employee’s experience with the discount program.
PerkSpot goes above and beyond typical customer service responsibilities by actually following up with its users on a variety of issues. This means either calling or sending an email to the employee to confirm the issue’s resolution or to continue resolving the existing issue. Past examples have included: confirming the delivery of various products, ensuring certain discounts are applied, confirming users are able to access PerkSpot from a variety of different locations and computers, etc.
PerkSpot’s customer service line is open during normal business hours, and representatives are constantly monitored to ensure quality. Furthermore, every email to PerkSpot receives a non-automated response within 24 hours, and receiving responses with 1-2 hours is the norm.

In today’s economy, it is increasingly important for human resource professionals to help employees achieve financial stability through benefit options. Voluntary benefits like group home and auto insurance and legal insurance are important perks that can help ease employee financial burden. According to the 2007 MetLife Study of Employee Benefit Trends:
The value of voluntary benefits to employees — flexibility, convenient payment through payroll deduction, quality vendors, and better group rates — may offset any potential concerns they may have about paying most or all of the costs.
PerkSpot helps human resource departments meet the financial needs of their employees. PerkSpot creates a customized discount program for each client that includes group home and auto insurance, pet insurance, and legal insurance. PerkSpot obtains even deeper discounts on these services when the employee uses the payroll deduction option. Giving employees various perks and new options for voluntary benefits can help them achieve financial success.

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?
