# What Can Employee Discount Programs Do? (Case Study)

If you’re reading this blog or snooped around our website, you’ll quickly notice that Access Perks is an [employee discount program](https://www.accessperks.com/). The nation’s largest, of course.
Employee discount programs *sound* interesting. Team members saving money on purchases at the local coffee shop or the restaurant down the street.
The saving part of it makes sense.
What does that mean for an employer?
Why should *you *offer your employees a discount program?
What’s in it for the company?
Furthermore, how can you quantify if it’s working, or if employees are even using the program?
These are all questions any decent employee discount program can answer. Sometimes it’s better to hear from someone else.
You know, an actual employer actively utilizing a discount program.
We’ve just [published a case study](http://www.accessdevelopment.com/case-studies/healthcare-non-profit-saves-employee-discount-program) outlining one such example that you might find useful.
It’s a non-profit mental health organization in the Pacific Northwest (we’re keeping their name private, you can ask if you *really* want to know). They’ve got loyal, devoted employees, but the company just can’t pay what their for-profit peers are able to.
So to add value to their employees, they turned to Access Perks.
The result? How much have their employees saved?
