Benefits of Gifteo for Your Business

Recognition fuels performance and directly impacts your bottom line. With Gifteo, you gain a structured, scalable way to engage your team and drive measurable results across your organisation.

Boost employee engagement

Consistent recognition leads to stronger commitment and better performance. When employees feel valued, they’re more motivated to contribute.

Improve retention and reduce turnover

Gifteo helps you build a culture where people want to stay, not just for the salary, but for the sense of being seen and appreciated.

Attract top talent

In a competitive employment market, great benefits help you stand out. Offering an employee rewards and recognition programme shows that you value your people and understand what today’s workforce expects.

Increase productivity

Motivated employees work harder. One recent study showed that happy employees are 31% more productive.

Build a positive company culture

Recognition helps build your company culture. By embedding it into your business, your company becomes a place where contributions are noticed, shared, and celebrated.

Why Employee Rewards and Recognition Matter

Retention, morale, productivity – they all start with feeling valued. Yet too often, employee recognition and rewards are inconsistent (or worse, absent). In today’s hybrid and fast-paced work environment, businesses need to proactively show staff that their hard work is valued. They need a system that makes appreciation part of everyday working life.

Disengagement

The cost of inaction is high. Disengagement, burnout, and financial stress don’t just affect your team – affect your bottom line. Research shows that unhappy employees cost organisations an average of £12,590 per person each year.

Employee’s financial situation

With 65% of employees worried about their financial situation, many are quietly seeking out employers who offer more than just a salary. They’re looking for benefits packages that increase disposable income and offer perks outside of work.

Recognition drives loyalty

On the flip side, when employees feel seen and supported, results follow. Recognition drives loyalty, lifts motivation, and helps teams perform at their best. In fact, happy employees are 31% more productive.

Offering rewards and recognition in the workplace isn’t just a perk or a ‘nice-to-have’. It’s a competitive advantage and crucial for maintaining engaged, high-functioning teams.

What Is Gifteo’s Rewards & Recognition Platform?

Our employee rewards and recognition software makes it easy to build a culture of appreciation that runs on consistency, not chance. It gives managers, team leaders, and HR departments the tools to recognise staff efforts in valuable ways. It even supports peer-to-peer recognition.

Whether you’re recognising a single act of effort or celebrating team-wide success,
Gifteo gives you a consistent, scalable way to do it well.

Incentivise

You can award employees with points for meaningful contributions, whether that’s delivering a key project, eco-friendly commuting, or something else that your company wants to incentivise. You decide what matters, and Gifteo helps you reward it.

Points

These ‘points’ (which you can rename to suit your brand) are purchased in advance by your company and distributed throughout the year. Employees can then redeem them for a wide range of rewards, such as:

Spending credit on an integrated e-commerce platform
Discounts on entertainment, travel, wellness, fashion, and more
Charity donations to causes they care about
Personalised experiences like lunch with the CEO

Customisable

Everything is customisable, from the behaviours you reward to the way points are issued. You can even schedule recognition around key moments such as birthdays, company anniversaries, or life events like weddings and new babies.

Whether you’re recognising a single act of effort or celebrating team-wide success, Gifteo gives you a consistent, scalable way to do it well.

Why Businesses Of All Sizes Love Gifteo

Small and Medium-Sized Businesses

For small and medium-sized businesses, attracting and retaining talent is often one of the biggest challenges. It can be tough to compete with larger organisations offering extensive perks and resources.

Gifteo gives small and medium-sized companies access to a sophisticated rewards and recognition platform, without the overheads or complexity. You can reward your team meaningfully, boost morale, and reinforce loyalty, all within a manageable budget.

No HR department? No problem. The platform is intuitive and easy to manage, even if you’re wearing multiple hats. With point-based rewards, you stay in control of costs while still offering employees a wide variety of high-value benefits.

Large Organisations

Large organisations have their own challenges when it comes to staff reward and recognition programs. Rolling out company-wide initiatives and driving consistent behaviours can be tricky. Siloed structures can make it even harder to implement new schemes and manage adoption.

But Gifteo makes it easy. Our software enables large businesses to implement staff reward and recognition programs at scale. Plus, you’ll receive support and tools that make rollout and internal communications a breeze. It’s a complete solution.

Whether you’re rewarding a team milestone or acknowledging someone’s quiet consistency, Gifteo gives you the tools to do it quickly and thoughtfully, without making it feel like a corporate checkbox exercise.

Benefits for Employees

Give your staff more than a payslip. Offering recognition and reward programs for employees ensures they feel appreciated, so they work harder and stay with you for longer.

Rewards are especially valued when they’re personal, flexible, and easy to access. Gifteo makes it straightforward to give your employees tangible benefits that they’ll actually find useful.

Improved purchasing power

Employees can save between £515 and £1120 per year by using their points to access exclusive offers, discounts, and cashback. It provides a significant boost at a time when the cost of living is on everyone’s mind (without impacting your payroll budget).

Perks that match big-company benefits

From cinema tickets to holidays, tech, beauty, sport, and more, your team gets access to a benefits catalogue that rivals what large organisations offer, even if you’re a team of ten.

Better quality of life

Work-life balance is about more than flexible hours. Gifteo gives employees everyday ways to treat themselves, support causes they care about, or enjoy meaningful experiences, helping them feel happier, healthier, and more motivated at work.

Testimonials

“I want to offer the best to my employees, but the financial resources aren’t always there. I chose Gifteo to reward them for their commitment and hard work: they can take advantage of thousands of attractive offers to treat themselves, and the conditions are advantageous for me. It’s a win-win situation!”

Tom M.

| Manager of a Digital Agency

“Retaining top talent is a constant battle, especially when you can’t always match the salary caps of big corporations. I brought in Gifteo to bridge that gap and boost my team’s purchasing power. Suddenly, I could offer them exclusive perks and discounts usually reserved for larger organisations. It keeps the team motivated and my budget balanced. It’s the competitive edge we were missing.”

Sarah M.

| CEO of a Fintech Startup

“We were struggling to find a meaningful way to say ‘thank you’ that didn’t feel generic or get lost in payroll taxes. Gifteo changed the game for our company culture. Instead of guessing what people want, we give them the power to choose rewards that actually improve their daily lives. The feedback has been incredible, and the administrative side is seamless for my HR team. It’s a total no-brainer.”

Marcus K.

| HR Director

“With the rising cost of living, I wanted to support my employees beyond just their standard paycheck, but I needed a sustainable solution. Gifteo allowed me to offer them immediate access to exclusive offers that make a real difference to their personal budgets. They feel truly looked after, and for the company, it’s a high-impact investment with low overhead. Everyone walks away happy.”
