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.

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."

Enhancing everyday work-life

The Pluxee R&R platform is an AI-powered, mobile-friendly, user-centric tool that offers real-time appreciation through a point-based rewards system.

"Our new, game-changing R&R platform combines the best of both worlds to deliver unmatched value: Pluxee's proven track record and global perspective in employee benefits and rewards, with Vantage Circle's cutting-edge technology, said Sharon K. Velasco, Marketing Director at Pluxee Philippines.”

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 harness the power of digital to help our Clients give meaningful, sustainable rewards that foster a motivated and satisfied workforce. We make it easy for Consumers to use their rewards and maximize their choice with the continued expansion of our merchant network. We support our Merchants by accelerating traffic and reach so they can thrive in a competitive market,” he adds.

Live Joyful with Pluxee

In line with the launch of Pluxee in the Philippines, the brand kicks off its “Live Joyful” digital campaign, which highlights the many ways that Pluxee Gifts enable memorable experiences.

“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.

Year-round gifting solutions for 2017

It is that time of the year again when people are still recovering from what is referred to as the “Holiday Hangover”, that short period of time after New Year’s Day when you realize that all of the revelry is finally over, and you have to go back to work or school again for an entire year before the holidays come around once more. There will be more celebrations spread throughout the year, of course, but with the hassles of daily life coming into play; it is becoming increasingly difficult to find the ideal gift solutions no matter what the occasion may be.

Contrary to what most people think, it is actually harder to choose gifts for the people you are close to, rather than your officemates or colleagues, for example. While you can easily get away with giving anything simple and generic to the guy assisting you in the office, you cannot just do the same for your significant other or for anyone important in your life. Whether you like it or not, your loved ones will expect you to make a conscious effort in gifting as this will somehow serve as a reflection of how much you value them – and you do not want them to be disappointed with your gift choices.

These days, practicality is king – as the best gift for all occasions is something your recipient can actually use. How many times have you received something you had no use for during your birthday or any other special occasion, only to recycle it for the next year and give it to someone else instead? This is an extremely common practice that we are all familiar with by now. It goes without saying that it is the thought that matters when it comes to exchanging gifts, but if you are unsure of what to give someone, a gift certificate will always be the perfect solution. Thankfully, it could not be easier to find nowadays as your ideal gift can conveniently be found online at GCregalo.com. 

Why waste your money on impulse buys that may never even be unwrapped, when you can present your loved ones with a Sodexo Premium Pass that is accepted in over 9000 merchants nationwide? GCregalo.com even offers hassle-free payment with your credit and debit cards, and free delivery anywhere in the Philippines! Treat your friends and family with the gift of choice, and present them with something that is sure to fulfill all of their preferences this year.
