All things automated everywhere. Except employee benefits

An employee benefits platform offers real advantages to employers

The term “platform” has shifted in meaning from identifying where you stand to catch a train to which streaming service you may watch, but there is also a more specialised definition for HR professionals.

Evolving from someone stamping their feet to keep warm because the 07.28 is delayed, an  employee benefits platform is now the accepted technological solution on which to curate, deliver and measure how your people use the benefits your organisation offers.

But does that mean every employer has seamlessly transitioned its benefits menu online and is reaping the, well, benefits?

Clearly, not all are able to do so. Some are simply not large enough for it to be cost-effective, but others may not know how it can help them make the most of what they offer staff.

Convinced? If your team still runs its benefits by spreadsheet or another method (paper?) then we want to demonstrate how this can change for the better.

Hosted by cloud, an employee benefits platform saves your team valuable admin time while freeing them to carry out their principal role: managing the workforce and business needs to help your organisation run efficiently.

Punter Southall Aspire has embraced this innovation. Employee benefits and the policies, procedures and perks of which they are made up are now available and accessible on a cloud-based platform. Or, more to the point, on your laptop or phone, wherever you are, whenever you want.

It simply makes sense to be able to organise this aspect of corporate life online in a way in which both employer and staff can get the best of both worlds. You can monitor, measure and adjust how your people interact, use and judge what’s on offer.

This is the thrust of our upcoming webinar on how it can help your team and drive your business forward.

And if the term “platform” still conjures up images of exasperated commuting or scrolling blankly through a vast library of films you don’t fancy watching, join us for a definition really worth your valuable time.
