1. This is how to build a global benefits strategy

Want to master your global benefits strategy?

It’s something we get asked a lot by Rewards Leaders with global teams. So I’m excited to be teaming up with Ben’s Head of Marketplace, Carl Chapman, tomorrow to cover everything from cost management to local customisation in your strategy design.

We’ll be answering key questions around:

• Benefits tax & cost management
• Balancing global consistency with local customisation
• Where brokers tie into all of this (and much more!)

It’s totally free and you can grab a place here!

2. Want a standout badge for your careers page?

Investing in benefits is a huge commitment to your team. It’s something you want to showcase, right?

Ben has launched a benefits certification with the help of a panel of awesome benefits experts.

As well as giving you a competitive edge, it also tells potential candidates:

• You have expert endorsement.
• You genuinely prioritise your people.
• You go beyond industry standards with awesome benefits.

We’ve already certified our first companies - want to be next? Get certified here.

3. New series: Friends with benefits…providers!

We work with over 40 partner providers, but it’s not always clear to Reward and People teams how they work or what they do. So Ben is starting a new webinar series called ‘Friends with Benefits (providers)’.

Every 2 weeks, we’ll be joined by a different partner provider to chat through their benefit, how it works through Ben, and how life shaping it can be to offer to your team.

We’re kicking it off next month with our first provider, Curam!

Who is Curam?

Curam connects employees with self-employed carers for personalised home care. Offering it through Ben ensures your team gets access to high-quality, reliable care services.

4. Customer Spotlight: Trainline

This month, we launched Trainline in six countries!

Trainline are Europe’s leading train and coach app and they’re offering their team some really cool benefits through Ben.

But what stood out most was how well they communicated Ben to their team. They threw a launch party, complete with cupcakes and Ben merch. By the end, everyone had heard of us.

Super cool to see! Congrats Trainline team.
