Conventionally, HR departments mainly focus on recruitment, workplace safety, employee relations, labour law compliance, payroll, training, and employee engagement. With an already highly exercised team, employers are challenged to add the time-consuming tasks of managing progressive benefit strategies, exacting budgetary processes, and remaining compliant with the evolving healthcare legislation. Employers face countless challenges around their benefits from employee education to administration. But, when there’s a software that helps global organisations to run all employee benefits in one place, the whole management becomes easier. This is where Benefex comes into play. The company works with the world’s leading organisations to benefit their people technology.

Matt Macri-Waller, the Founder and CEO of Benefex first came up with the idea of transforming workplace experience in 2003. Since then, the company has been on a roller coaster ride when it comes to innovation. Benefex works with its brainchild— OneHub, an award-winning employee experience software. The technology helps employers to deliver exceptional employee benefits across a range of HR areas. By improving employee’s day to day interactions with their benefits and giving them meaningful recognition. Benefex ties up with the world’s best companies spanning from retail to energy, to finance and everything in between. Also, the company supports more than 650 organisations across 70 countries and transforms the experience of more than 1.6 million employees. Moreover, the Benefex family consists of innovators in customer service, developers, graphic designers, implementation consultants, and many more.

Adding more to the capabilities of OneHub, the platform is best described to enable employers to design, manage and deliver meaningful employee experiences, from benefits and communication to reward and recognition. The employee benefits platform is built to fit in the business structure, irrespective of the industry vertical. It brings together a whole host of tailored and off the shelf benefits. Benefex’s expert brokers, consultants and real-time analytics dashboard support every business in delivering an exceptional employee experience.

Further, employees can view their real-time social feed, like and comment on other recognitions and receive notifications. With a mobile-first, multi-currency app, remote and global employees feel more connected to their peers and part of the family. The mobile led nature of the apps allows recognition to be given or received instantly. Additionally, cross-team communication is improved, and remote employees are easy to reach. OneHub installation process is hassle-free and requires no assistance from the IT team. The app is GDPR compliant, and a dynamic analytics dashboard enables quick and easy monitoring of activities.

At this juncture, the value proposition of Benefex can be well explained through a customer success story. EDF Energy approached Benefex to create an awardwinning employee benefits programme that supports the EDF mission to achieve net-zero carbon emissions. After successfully collaborating with Benefex, EDF Energy succeeded in supporting 400 of their employees to switch their petrol cars with electric vehicles and getting 3,000 people set up with financial wellness accounts. This was indeed just one of the few instances where Benefex has supported the clients and attained the best result without any shortcoming.

Such success stories stand testament to the value that Benefex has been delivering to its clients. The company has also proven its excellence in driving desired results for its clients, time and again. The company plans to expand its team with individuals with specific industry experience that would serve their clients’ best interests.
