5. A single home for culture
As the reward and benefits function has taken over its share of the organisation’s wellbeing, DE&I and sustainability strategies, the employee experience tech stack has become far more complex than it was even five years ago. As a result, it’s commonplace to see disparate and disconnected systems for employee benefits, retirement options, share schemes, recognition, wellbeing, communications, and financial education, across different platforms with separate locations and logins.
The average large employer now reports having more than 80 different systems for their employees to use; this creates a disjoined and confusing experience for employees. This fast growth gives rise to the need for a single platform where employees can go to understand everything that their organisation does for them. Using the benefits platform as a single
hub for benefits, content, communications, policies, wellbeing, reward and recognition is becoming more commonplace and makes the process smoother and simpler for employees.
“The beauty of a unified platform is its ability to turn complexity into clarity, ensuring every employee can get the full value of benefits and wellbeing programmes we offer. In today’s fast-paced work environment, ease-of-access and simplicity are paramount. By consolidating resources, we’re reducing the cognitive load on our employees, enabling them to focus on what truly matters – their growth, wellbeing, and of course, contributions to our shared vision. It’s a win-win!”
Employee benefit technology like OneHub serves to streamline the employee experience, creating a central hub that provides access to all the resources and support employees need – with SSO providing easy access to third party tools.
By optimising their existing investment within the HR tech stack by investing in a wraparound employee experience platform, organisations are putting employee benefits technology at the centre; although only 17% of employers surveyed have a single global benefits platform in place, 71% of HR and Reward leaders are planning to implement one.
