When it comes to employee benefits, offering a strong benefits package is only part of the picture. To truly maximise value, employees need to understand, access and engage with what is available to them.
This is where benefits technology can make real difference. At PIB Employee Benefits, we believe that your technology should do more than simply host your benefits. It should simplify administration, improve communication, increase engagement and reduce costs.
That’s why we created glo, a consultative benefits technology solution, designed to help companies of all sizes bring their benefits to life and help employees to prioritise their wellbeing.
Here are five reasons to consider glo for your business:
- Built in communications to drive engagement
Even the most competitive benefits package can go underused and undervalued if employees don’t know what is available to them.
glo includes built-in communication tools that help you keep benefits visible and easy to understand, from launch campaigns and benefit window reminders to awareness day posters and more to help bring your benefits to life.
The platform can also support wider employee engagement initiatives such as reward and recognition and Total Reward Statements, helping employees to clearly see the value of their package while feeling recognised for their contribution.
When communication about benefits improves, engagement follows.
- Data-driven decision making
For many companies, employee benefits will represent one of the largest investments they make after salaries – ensuring that this investment delivers real value is vital. Our research found that just 35% of companies who have adopted benefits technology use analytics.[1]
glo provides information and reporting that can help companies to understand usage trends, employee engagement levels and the benefit that matter most to your workforce.
Benefit decisions that are backed with data are often the strongest and using data means you can move beyond assumptions and make informed decisions about where to invest, refine or evolve your strategy.
- A centralised place for benefits
Employees increasingly expect simple digital experiences and points of access and when it comes to benefits, this is no different.
glo creates one central place for employees to understand their benefits, rather than navigating multiple providers, documents or systems. With 61% of companies that have adopted benefits technology reporting increased employee satisfaction[2], there’s a clear opportunity to use platforms like glo to make benefits simpler, more accessible and more engaging.
For employers, this can help to reduce the administration burden and cost and improve visibility. For employees it means easier access to the support available.
- Tailored to your workforce
No two companies are the same, so your technology solution shouldn’t be either, employee benefits are not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Whether you need a straightforward platform to improve communication or a fully customisable solution aligned to your reward strategy, glo can flex to meet your needs. Our technology solution can also host flexible benefits, which in our latest research 71% of employees said they would like more flexibility to pick and choose their benefits[3] and 31% of companies say flexible benefits it’s a primary reason for investing in benefits technology[4].
For companies looking for a bespoke experience, glo Connect offers a fully branded solution that can be tailored to reflect your identity, including colours, logos and visual styling, creating a seamless employee experience.
We work with our clients to understand their people, priorities and objectives – helping to shape a platform that supports your workforce, as your business evolves over time.
