For human resource managers and administrators, major holidays can be incredibly busy. Along with the normal day-to-day business that must be conducted during these times, both local and national merchants are eager to advertise and expose their product specials and discounts to employees during these times. This influx of requests can add to an already heavy workload, and this is where PerkSpot can help. PerkSpot can relieve this burden while customizing an employee discount program for employees. Allowing PerkSpot to manage the employee discount program can allow an organization to take full advantage of any and all company discounts that are offered to your employees. PerkSpot will manage these merchant relationships, keep the program and service up-to-date, and handle customer service inquiries. And, in the end, the organization wins by providing their employees with an extra perk!

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.

Does your current employee discount program include local merchant discounts? Examples include the local florist, barber, dry cleaner, pet sitter, etc. Most employee discount programs have several national merchant discounts that are typically redeemable online. However, a strong offering of local perks in your community can be just as valuable as the national merchant discounts as they give employees a local option, a discount they can redeem in-store, and a chance to support the local community. PerkSpot takes suggestions from employees and human resource professionals on local discounts they would like to see and seeks to build robust local merchant offerings that are truly exclusive to PerkSpot and the corporation. This focus on the local community is what employees can expect from PerkSpot.

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?

One of the great advantages to being a member of the burgeoning Chicago startup community is the opportunity to collaborate with talented entrepreneurs working on innovative business ideas. Today we officially say goodbye to Humanized, our neighbor and fellow successful Chicago startup. A majority of the Humanized team will be going to work for Mozilla and the others will be continuing to work on Songza or going to graduate school.
We have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the guys at Humanized and have tried to feed off their passion for humane user interfaces in order to enhance the PerkSpot user experience. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for the team and wish them the best of luck.

Whoever is in charge of managing an organization’s employee discount program, one of their largest responsibilities is typically fielding calls and solicitation from merchants and vendors wanting to offer a discount. These discounts represent a wide range of goods and services: a national health club chain and their wellness programs, a local ice cream shop, a regional homebuilder, an online handbag retailer, etc. Thinking about the sheer number of merchants who call and then require a response can make one’s head spin. In addition, companies whose employees highly utilize the employee discount program will often refer merchants and ask the human resource administrators to contact the merchants!
PerkSpot has the ability to adopt these employee discount programs and the associated management of merchant discounts. Furthermore, PerkSpot clients are actively encouraged to refer any inquiries to PerkSpot so discounts obtained and communicated as quickly as possible. Taking this burden off an administrator’s hands often frees up much needed time which can now be devoted to core job responsibilities, and PerkSpot’s expertise in merchant management enhances the value of the program in the first place.
PerkSpot is constantly looking for new merchants to participate in the employee discount programs that it manages. An important component to adding merchants is based on feedback and suggestions from users. In a given month, approximately one employee per thousand will suggest a merchant to be added to his or her respective discount program. For an employer with 10,000 employees, that’s two merchants per week. Realistically, the time required for a human resource administrator to bring a merchant onto their existing employee discount program is somewhere between 2-3 hours. That’s an average of 2 -3, 8-hour workdays every month!
