A good employee benefit should keep working long after the first order. That is the whole idea behind TechRewards, our brand-new rewards programme built right into the TechBenefits platform. Here is what it is, why we built it, and how it helps employees and employers alike.
In brief
What it is: a rewards programme built into the TechBenefits platform.
The benefit: employees earn rewards towards their next order, on top of the salary-sacrifice NI savings.
Exclusive: only available through TechBenefits, because we build our own platform.
For employers: free to offer, no admin, and it keeps your benefit engaging over time.
A benefit shouldn’t stop at the checkout
Most salary-sacrifice technology schemes end the moment an order is placed. An employee chooses their laptop, phone or tablet, the monthly payments begin, and that is that until next time. It works, but it treats a benefit as a single transaction rather than an ongoing relationship. We wanted to do more. The people who use the scheme come back to it again and again, and we think that loyalty deserves to be rewarded.
What is TechRewards?
TechRewards is a rewards programme built into the TechBenefits platform. In simple terms, employees earn rewards they can put towards their next order. It is an extra saving, on top of the National Insurance savings the salary-sacrifice scheme already gives them. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to claim. It is built into the experience, so the value simply flows to your people automatically.
What TechRewards means for employees
Your employees already save on the technology they want and spread the cost interest-free through salary sacrifice. With TechRewards, they are rewarded for it too, with real value they can use next time around. It turns a one-off purchase into an ongoing perk, and gives people a reason to keep coming back to a benefit that keeps giving back. And because everyone on the scheme can take part, it is an inclusive extra rather than a perk for a lucky few. The name says it all: you earned it.
What TechRewards means for employers
If you look after reward, HR or people teams, here is why TechRewards matters. A benefit is only worth offering if your people actually use it and value it, and one of the quiet challenges with any benefit is keeping it visible and engaging long after launch day. TechRewards helps with exactly that. By giving employees a reason to return, it keeps your technology benefit working for you, supporting engagement, wellbeing and retention over time rather than just in the week you roll it out. Best of all, it does this the way the rest of TechBenefits works: free to offer, with no extra admin and nothing new for your team to manage.
Why only TechBenefits can offer it
TechRewards is exclusive to TechBenefits, and there is a good reason for that. We are a technology company first and a benefits provider second. We build and run our own platform, which means we can create features like this ourselves. Providers who simply resell someone else’s scheme cannot. It is a small but telling example of our promise to always go further, and of what it means to work with the techies, the advisors and the supplier, all in one, with a human touch.
Bring TechRewards to your team
TechRewards comes as standard with the TechBenefits scheme, which is free for employers to run and takes very little to set up. If you would like to see how TechBenefits and TechRewards could work for your people, we would love to show you.
