Pluxee Revolutionizes Workplace Engagement with New AI-Powered Rewards and Recognition Platform

Pluxee Philippines, trusted leader in employee benefits and rewards solutions, launches its new Rewards and Recognition (R&R) platform that aims to redefine employee experience and workplace engagement. Building on this commitment and carrying the legacy of its predecessor Sodexo Benefits and Rewards’ leadership in gifting and rewards, Pluxee’s new R&R platform will elevate employee appreciation and make work-life more rewarding. This new service is powered by Vantage Circle, provider of award-winning recognition and wellness solutions to over 700 global companies.

A recent Gallup study revealed that only 23% of the world's employees are actively engaged at work, feeling involved and enthusiastic about their roles. Conversely, 62% are not engaged, merely showing up and doing the bare minimum, while 15% are actively disengaged, experiencing dissatisfaction and seeking new opportunities Gallup (2024, August).

This widespread disengagement has severe repercussions: 41% of employees feel stressed, 52% are actively job hunting, and $8.9 trillion is lost annually due to low employee engagement.

Pluxee understands the critical role that employee engagement plays in today's competitive landscape and recognizes how fostering a culture of appreciation and recognition can significantly increase motivation and productivity among workers.

"The employee engagement landscape has drastically changed, and technology influenced this transformation. Employees now seek a more meaningful and rewarding work experience," said Pluxee Philippines’ Country Managing Director Mert Cetin. "The Pluxee R&R platform answers this demand by empowering companies to create a culture of appreciation, where employees feel valued and motivated to excel. By making recognition integral to everyday work life, this new digital solution helps establish consistency and nurtures behaviors that drive business growth," Cetin added.

Speaking on this Partnership, CEO and Co-founder of Vantage Circle, Mr. Partha Neog stated, “We are thrilled to partner with Pluxee Philippines to bring our award-winning recognition and wellness solutions to more organizations. We, at Vantage Circle, believe that recognition is a fundamental pillar of employee engagement and satisfaction. By leveraging our innovative platform and services, we aim to enhance the recognition and rewards experience, making it more seamless, personalized, and impactful. Together, we are committed to transforming workplaces into spaces where appreciation and engagement thrive."

As Labor Day approaches, Pluxee — a leading global employee recognition solutions provider — urges employers to honor their workforce through personalized digital solutions

Tweet

Labor Day is a time to commemorate the contributions of the workforce across all industries. It’s also timely for employers to reflect on the commitment of their employees who fuel their organization’s success everyday.

The World Bank reported that the estimated unemployment rate in the Philippines is at its lowest level since 1999, indicating signs of recovery in the labor market. This means that over 90% of people in the working age group were employed, with the majority falling into the pay and salary category. 

However, employee retention remains a major problem for most employers. The country is still experiencing the effects of “The Great Resignation” brought by the pandemic, with 29% of employees looking for greener pastures.

Studies show that employee appreciation is crucial for retention. This goes beyond verbal recognition and transcends into rewards and incentives for their meaningful efforts. 

Previously Sodexo Benefits and Rewards Services, Pluxee has strengthened its identity with a renewed commitment to advancing worker recognition that aligns with Labor Day celebrations. It now highlights customized digital solutions, with its flagship offering — Pluxee Gift — at the forefront of creating joyful and sustainable employee appreciation experiences.

Elevating employee appreciation with Pluxee Gift  

Pluxee Gift makes employee milestones and rewards more meaningful. It features a wide variety of redemption options for different services and special treats such as meals, spa days, shopping sprees, and many more. This diverse range caters to a broad spectrum of preferences, creating joyful experiences for every employee.

Pluxee Gifts come in different forms that can cater to any employee experience journey:

Pluxee Gift credits: Pluxee Gift credits are sent to the Pluxee Philippines app of recipients via web portal. These credits are partially redeemable, meaning recipients don't have to use the credits all at once in a single transaction. Credits may be used at over 10,000 partner merchants and online stores such as Grab, Lazada, Shopee, Angkas, and Klook. Pluxee Gift credits are best for recurring benefits such as allowances, performance-based incentives, and more.

Pluxee Gift codes: Employers can simplify the gifting experience with texts and emails, eliminating storage requirements and manual tracking of rewards. Pluxee Gift codes are also convertible to Pluxee Gift credits to allow partial redemption. Furthermore, Pluxee Gift codes can be customized with the company’s logo and message, and can be made valid for specific merchants and products only.

Pluxee Gift card:  A hybrid reward, the Pluxee Gift card is a physical card that carries digital Pluxee Gift codes. Recipients can use them instantly, with no activation needed. Pluxee Gift cards are convertible to Pluxee Gift credits for recipients who prefer to store their rewards in an app and enjoy features such as partial redemption and online shopping. Customization is also possible with the company’s logo or for specific products.

This Labor Day, Pluxee encourages organizations to celebrate and reward their employees' achievements through innovative recognition solutions. With its Live Joyful campaign, Pluxee enables memorable experiences, amplifying the celebration of employees' contributions and emphasizing the joy found in meaningful recognition.

Pluxee is here, your new Global partner in employee benefits and engagement

Tweet

Sodexo Benefits and Rewards Services Philippines is now Pluxee, as in a strategic move to strengthen its commitment to elevating the overall experience of its clients, partner merchants, and consumers.

The spin-off from the Sodexo Group is a global initiative announced last year to give its gifting business a digital-first brand that reflects its ambition to offer personalized, sustainable solutions to the evolving market.

In the Philippines, Pluxee builds upon the strong foundation laid by Sodexo Philippines, a joint venture with SM Investment Corporation.

Launched in 2003, Pluxee became the pioneer and biggest issuer of gift certificates in the country. Over the years, it introduced industry firsts such as an e-commerce platform to make GCs instantly accessible to businesses and consumers, SMS and email based GCs, and a rewards app enabling partial redemption of GCs and acceptance in online stores. As a proud partner of SM, the country's retail giant, Pluxee also powers the SM Gift Pass and their latest digital rewards solution, the SM Gift Pass Choice. Pluxee ramped up its partnership with the country’s most preferred brands and now boasts of over 17,000 accredited merchants.

Pluxee Gift

A trusted brand in navigating the landscape of the 21st-century workplace, Pluxee addresses the unique needs of each client. At the forefront of Pluxee products is the Pluxee Philippines app, where clients can send Pluxee Gift credits to their recipients via web portal. The credits are partially redeemable in over 10,000 merchants and can also be used in app-exclusive brands such as Angkas, Grab, Klook, Lazada, Shopee, and more. Pluxee Gift also comes as codes that can be distributed via SMS or email. This is API-enabled and can seamlessly integrate with clients’ systems to fully automate incentive programs. Codes can also be customized and accepted at specific brands or for specific products to cater to clients’ preferences.

Pluxee introduces another innovation with the Pluxee Gift card, a physical card that comes with digitally powered codes and may be used instantly in stores. These codes can be converted to Pluxee Gift credits in the Pluxee Philippines app to enable partial redemption and access to app-exclusive brands.

"Being one of the leading global partners in employee benefits and engagement, we’re dedicated to unlocking opportunities to enhance people’s lives at work and beyond,” says Mert Cetin, CEO of Pluxee Philippines. 

“We cover areas such as food, recreational activities, gifts, wellness, mobility, and more.

We make it easy for Consumers to use their rewards and maximize their choice with the continued expansion of our merchant network.

“A Pluxee Gift is more than just a reward or benefit. It’s a personal, immersive experience from making the most of what you have and enjoying what really matters to you. The campaign is an ode to the vibrant and optimistic spirit of Filipinos who never run out of ways to create and spread happiness,” says Sharon K. Velasco, Marketing Director of Pluxee Philippines.
