Motivano launches new Employee Savings platform
This month marks the launch of Motivano’s new Employee Savings platform which has been designed to give employees access to a relevant and regularly updated range of offers and discounts that will save your people money and give you the opportunity to seamlessly brand your rewards and benefits offering.
Here, Mark Carman, marketing communications director at Motivano, outlines the key features and benefits of the latest employee savings platform in the benefits market.
Why develop a new Employee Savings platform?
The new Employee Savings platform is a much better looking and more stylish benefits solution than its predecessor! The feel of the new platform, which has been designed to offer an enhanced and more engaging user experience, has taken nearly one year to develop and represents Motivano’s commitment to investing heavily in the development of new reward and benefit technologies.
Huge change is afoot in the reward and benefits market and, thanks to the new platform, we are in the best position to respond to this change and enable our clients to meet their engagement and reward objectives. Whether it’s responding to the growth in employee driven schemes that are based on ‘consumer’ knowledge or supporting organisations’ push to integrate strategies, policies and messages across all reward systems, we are in the best possible position to support success.
What are the key features of the Employee Savings Platform?
When it comes to the Motivano Employee Savings platform, it really is a case of ‘what you see is what you get’! There are no ‘hidden’ discounts and employees really can access the total savings negotiated by Motivano.
Some of the key features include:
- Companies can brand the website to reflect their existing reward strategy and brand.
- The platform is available in any language or currency.
- It links directly to a company’s Intranet, giving employees a seamless journey and experience.
- Organisations can choose to embed a video about the platform, specific benefits or their reward policy and offering.
- Organisations retain the option to remove or block access to rewards from competitor organisations.
- Employees can search for offers by category and retailer through an A–Z search tool.
- They can build a portfolio of favourite offers and discounts, as well as preferred retailers.
- Short-term offers are regularly included and updated.
- Employees can access basic total reward data, such as the total value of the savings they have made.
The Employee Savings platform really does offer the functionality an employee would expect from any online retailer. We regularly benchmark the platform against other sites to ensure the offer and service we make remains competitive and can offer employees the best possible value and savings to make the most of their money.
How can I access the platform?
There are two levels of license available to organisations that are keen to incorporate the Employee Savings platform into their reward and benefits offering.
The Essential Savings platform offers users access to a selection of the suppliers, savings and discounts available through the platform and is an ideal first step for organisations that are offering employee savings for the first time.
The Extra Savings platform, in contrast, enables users to access deeper savings and discounts. On average there are over 230 offers on the platform and the content is updated daily. With this level of license employers also have the opportunity to brand the website and ensure it reflects their existing reward and employer brand.
What do clients think about the new platform?
Feedback about the platform has been very positive and we have worked closely with clients, suppliers, employers and employees to learn exactly what they need from the platform, now and in the short term. This is to ensure that we we develop a solution that can keep pace with changing individual and organisation preferences and requirements.
Work will be ongoing with key stakeholders to support and improve the functionality, usability and design of the Employee Savings platform. And alongside this, we continue to update our flexible benefits engine and total reward capability to integrate seamlessly with our employee savings investment.
