The Pluxee Card... Reward, support, retain!
23 February 2023
What if there was a product on the market that stretches salaries further, provides household support for your employees through cashback earnings and acts as the mechanism for issuing cash rewards and bonuses?
Well… there is! Read on to unleash the power of the Pluxee Card.
Powered by Visa, our Pluxee Card allows you and your people to earn up to 15% cashback at participating retailers. Accepted for payments in the UK and abroad, and with an app compatible with iOS and Android, your people can check their balance and top up whenever and wherever they are.
Our Pluxee Card is so versatile that you can use it in many ways, such as:
-
A Cashback earning employee benefit
With over 80 retailers on board, our Pluxee Cards will earn your people cashback on their essential everyday shop and with their favourite luxury brands.
Better still, our Pluxee Card ticks those all-important green credentials when you choose our 100% recycled plastic option.
Versatile & unique to you
Since our Pluxee Card is such a flexible solution, it shouldn’t be surprising that you can brand it with your company’s logo. Whether you use it as an employee benefit, as part of your reward strategy, or to incentivise sales and customers, it’s your name people will see when they use it.
Our Pluxee Card is an impactful way to stretch salaries further, which is particularly important during the cost of living crisis, so there’s no better way to say ‘thank you’ and ‘well done.’
The beauty of the Pluxee Card is that even if you incorporate it into your business for one reason, such as issuing rewards as part of your recognition strategy, you can go on to embed it as an employee benefit further down the line, adding a corporate load each month or on an ad hoc basis.
It's also an option to issue the Pluxee Card to your employees, leaving them to add their own funds and top up as they go. Even if a business doesn’t add any money to the card, the cashback earning potential makes your people’s wages go further, so the financial support is still there.
Cashback earning for household support
7.8 million Brits are struggling to keep up with the rising cost of their household bills.
The cost of living is at an all-time high, and notably, the price of feeding a family of four for a week is estimated to be £129.
When your people choose to shop with a retailer enrolled in our Pluxee Card scheme, they’ll accumulate a pot of cashback earnings that they can use towards the next weekly shop or other essential or high-end purchases, alleviating their financial burden.
With over 80 retailers to earn cashback with, there’s something for everyone. Your employees can spend their balance (whether made up of cash top-ups or cashback earnings) wherever Visa prepaid is accepted, online and in-store.
Recognition & reward
Reward and recognition initiatives are essential to a successful HR strategy, boosting employee engagement, retention and motivation, setting you apart from the crowd when searching for new talent.
There is no one-fits-all approach, and the best strategies start by finding out what means the most to your people – after all, we can never underestimate the importance of social connection and experiences.
As a recognition prepaid card, you can use our Pluxee Card as a reward mechanism only without utilising the cashback option. However, in the current climate, many employees need assistance making their monthly wage stretch further. Businesses need to get creative, using their reward and recognition strategy to boost employees’ financial wellbeing by making cash bonuses work even harder.
Say an employee receives a £100 bonus added to their card or virtual account. If they spend that £100 with a retailer offering 15% cashback, that £100 becomes worth £115.
Take the scenario above, and apply the same cashback earning potential of 15%, but with a bonus and spend of £500. That £500 is actually worth £575!
This is the difference cashback earnings can make.
Even if the spending amounts and cashback earning potential are less, when your employees embed their Pluxee Card into their daily lives, the cashback will accumulate.
Incentivisation
Rewards are ultimately used to incentivise your employees, but businesses aren’t just limited to offering our Pluxee Card to their workforce. As such, we’ll step away from the world of employee experience for a moment.
According to Forbes, a 5% rise in customer retention can lead to a 75% increase in company profitability.
British consumers are cutting back on essential items and ensuring they get the best value for money by shopping around.
Membership organisations need to retain their members, especially those that could fall into the non-essential category. Their offering needs to be cutback-proof. People need to see the added value they’ll get by continuing to pay for their membership, which you can achieve through incentivisation.
Last year, when fuel prices peaked, we embarked on an incentivisation journey with an automotive client. Recognising that drivers were struggling to keep their cars on the road, our client embedded our Pluxee Card into their sales offering as an incentive and added a monthly amount to each card issued.
The participation rate was a massive 96%.
Once again, when you personalise and add your brand to your Pluxee Card, your name and generosity are at the forefront of your customer's minds.
