Posted by Lisa Oyler on Sep. 17, 2024

Welcome to the holiday season! Hopefully you’re enjoying the chill in the air, the pumpkin spice invading all your favorite treats and the thrilling anticipation of coming holidays.

This time of year, is there anyone out there NOT breathing a contented sign of relief?

Well…

For our friends in human resources, holiday season is also open enrollment season. That means a whirlwind of paperwork, an endless stream of employee questions and loads of intricate decisions that can test even the most seasoned experts. Sound familiar? 

While most employees eagerly anticipate the upcoming season's festivities, HR Heroes double down. It's one of the most strenuous yet crucial tasks they undertake each year. Their dedication and expertise shine as they navigate the complex terrain of employee benefits. If you work in HR, you’re probably hard at work vetting out benefits and negotiating rates as we speak.

To ease the pain, we at Access Perks are offering a special deal for new clients through the remainder of the season: sign up for Access Perks and get one month for your organization for free. Skip to the bottom of this post if you’re ready to get started right away. Or, read on to learn more.  

Great Employee Benefits = Engaged Employees

HR professionals know that open enrollment is an ideal time to take the pulse of employee engagement levels in your organization. After all, engaged employees lead to greater customer satisfaction and increased profitability.

Research shows a direct link between employee benefits and their engagement and loyalty to their job. One study in particular found that 8 out of 10 employees who ranked their benefits satisfaction as extremely or very high also ranked job satisfaction as extremely or very high. Another survey revealed that 78% of workers would likely remain with their employer because of the benefits it offers.

There's no denying that the benefits you introduce at the beginning of each year are a HUGE deal.

Family Saving Money (1)Unfortunately, many employers find themselves having to break the news of health insurance rate increases year after year at open enrollment. While the rising cost of premiums is largely out of your control, that doesn’t mean there’s nothing you can do about it. Many companies have found great success counterbalancing bad news with awesome news. They do this by simultaneously rolling out other (more fun) perks-- especially ones that put more of your workers' hard-earned paychecks back in their wallets.

That’s what Access Perks is all about: helping your employees experience more.

What is Access Perks and Why Do I Need It?

Access Perks is an employee discount program that saves your workers money at over 1 million participating businesses across the country. There’s something for everyone with savings in all the nooks and crannies of your community. They’ll save at local restaurants, auto shops, dry cleaners, hair salons and more – the places where they spend money every day. Plus, you’ll be able to bring their dream vacations within reach with Access Perks discounts at theme parks, car rentals, hotels and even flights across the globe.

One of the coolest parts of Access Perks is that the diversity of discounts make them relevant and valuable to every single employee.

By contrast, most popular perks are only relevant to a small percentage of employees or are only relevant during certain times of life. For example, legal assistance can be great, but the number of employees that actually need it tends to be pretty low. And pet insurance is awesome... for employees that have a pet. The same can be said for on-site childcare or adoption assistance. They're game-changers for certain employees, but don't apply to many (if not most) of your workers.

Happy employeesNiche perks like these certainly have a place. But they just don't compete in value with inclusive benefits that all employees can use. That's what you get with Access Perks. The savings opportunities are so diverse that it'll help everyone across the entire organization, no matter their stage of life.

And unlike health insurance or some of the other broad-appeal perks, it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. In fact, most businesses provide Access Perks to their employees for no more than they’d spend buying them each a candy bar each month.

What other perk has that kind of impact and costs so little?

Believe it or not, it gets better. In the spirit of the open enrollment season, qualifying organizations will receive their first month FREE for their entire workforce. Fill out the short form below and we’ll be in touch soon to answer your questions or get you started.
