Robert Walters: Building a best-in-class EVP

Robert Walters, a global specialist recruitment consultancy, recognised the evolving needs of employees and contractors in a post-pandemic world. To enhance their EVP and provide comprehensive support, they turned to Perkbox.

Belinda Mott, Senior Commercial and Projects Manager, led the Perkbox rollout across their ANZ region, ensuring both internal employees and contractors received equal access to benefits. This was crucial in creating a unified, loyal workforce.

“We wanted our contractors to feel valued and supported, with the same benefits as permanent staff,” Belinda explained. Perkbox’s accessible discounts, wellness tools, and real-time savings resonated with their workforce, especially during the cost-of-living crisis.

The platform significantly increased engagement, with activation rates doubling compared to previous solutions. The ease of use—allowing real-time savings without large upfront costs—was particularly appreciated by employees facing financial pressures.

By enhancing their EVP with Perkbox, Robert Walters not only supported their permanent employees but also fostered loyalty and satisfaction within their contractor community, making them feel fully integrated and appreciated.

Australian Sports Foundation: Kicking off a modern EVP

The Australian Sports Foundation (ASF) is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to raising funds for sports development across Australia. With a hybrid workforce spread nationwide, ASF sought to enhance their EVP by fostering a strong culture of recognition and reward, regardless of location.

Executive Assistant Jodie Constable explains that Perkbox's reward and recognition feature has been key in creating this culture:

“We went from ad-hoc recognition to weekly moments of appreciation, which is vital in a hybrid workplace. It shines a light on small wins and helps us stay connected.”

Perkbox’s reward tool has also transformed the way managers reward their teams. What was once a rare practice has become a monthly habit, with rewards tailored to individual preferences through points.

“Now, recognition is a regular part of our monthly meetings, and the ability to reward instantly has made a huge difference.”

ecoDynamics Group: Enhancing EVP through unified reward and recognition

ecoDynamics Group, Australia’s largest commercial landscaping business, faced challenges with a dispersed workforce across five divisions. Lisa Cole, Marketing and Social Procurement Manager, sought to create a cohesive company culture by introducing Perkbox, a platform that would unify the team under a shared recognition and rewards system.

Lisa explains,

“There wasn’t one platform to communicate with or recognise our teams across divisions. My goal was to create a dynamic group culture where we can all connect, reward, and celebrate each other.”

Perkbox’s recognition feature has transformed ecoDynamics' recognition efforts, with 88% of the workforce activating the platform in just three months. Employees across divisions can now easily acknowledge each other’s contributions, regardless of their location.
