How to boost employee engagement.

Employees are the heart and soul of any organisation - the blood that keeps the entire operation pumping. So, in order to run an efficient and effective workplace, you need to make sure your employees are well looked after and passionate about helping your business succeed. There are a number of ways in which you can recognise the efforts of your employees and express just how valued they are, but we’d recommend that you consider an employee benefits scheme!

Employees talking to each other in a meeting environment

What are employee benefits?

Recognition can come in many forms: celebrating milestones, employee of the month nominations or simply a genuine thank you from senior members of staff. However, employee benefits are typically a range of loyalty schemes which offer a selection of savings and discounts for employees to use across a variety of services. These types of rewards and recognition in the workplace are proven to boost employee retention and generally improve morale and work ethic around the workplace.

Your chosen loyalty and rewards platforms may consist of perks like dining rewards, coffee shop rewards, entertainment benefits and cinema rewards.

Why are rewards and recognition in the workplace important?

Organisations that take the time to celebrate and recognise their employees are more likely to enjoy a healthier and more positive working environment. Employee benefits can not only help to deepen the engagement of current employees but can help your organisation stand out amongst competitors, thereby attracting top-tier talent to your company.  

How to improve rewards and recognition in the workplace.

If your organisation is looking to show appreciation for its staff and strengthen employee engagement, consider Ello Group’s company reward schemes. We can help your workers enjoy doing the things that they love for less - whether that’s enjoying exciting days out with the family, catching a film with friends or settling down for food and drinks with their special someone. 

Let’s get into our ideas for reward and recognition in the workplace, shall we?

Dining rewards.

Ello’s dining rewards offer members access to both tastecard and Gourmet Society, promising both 2 for 1 meals and 25% off food and drinks deals for your employees. What better way to celebrate a promotion or even an anniversary than with a delicious meal? Exactly. So, help your employees save an average of £23 per meal when they dine out with your brand-new dining rewards. 

Coffee Club.

If your employees don’t work remotely, it's safe to assume that a fair few of them arrive at work with a warm brew in hand.  Our coffee shop rewards allow members to enjoy 25% off barista-made drinks - that’s essentially the equivalent of enjoying your fourth drink for free! This is possibly one of our handiest ideas for rewards and recognition in the workplace, as it could come in handy on a daily basis, amounting to major savings. 

Entertainment benefits.

The UK is packed with thrilling attractions to explore. So, give your employees something to share about their weekend with the rest of the office when they enjoy one of our entertainment benefits at a hugely discounted price. Here at Ello, we’re all about supporting families in making lasting memories - and we’re sure you are too - which is why we’re so proud to offer deals at the largest attractions across the nation. Think Thorpe Park, Alton Towers, SEALIFE, Legoland and more!

Cinema rewards.
There’s no better way to enjoy a rainy Sunday afternoon than slouched into a cinema seat, popcorn in hand. The cinema quite literally has something for everyone, whether you’re a film lover or secretly enjoy seeing the latest kids’ flicks with the family. Our cinema rewards offer fantastic deals across the UK’s largest cinema chains on tickets and even popcorn at specific venues.
