Benefit Online Platform helps companies transfer the benefits directly to employees: they can create their own benefits package, from a range of thousands of options, both in the area of tax benefits (meal and cultural vouchers, private pensions, insurance) / health subscriptions, vacations, gifts or professional courses), as well as in the area of corporate discounts (fitness and wellness subscriptions, fashion and beauty, shows and events, restaurants and cafes, telecom, appliances and technology, etc.)
Thanks to these solutions, the client companies in Romania can make their human resources policies more efficient and increase their attractiveness as employers in a highly competitive labor market.
Today, Benefit Online has more than 100,000 active users, from over 250 client companies from various industries, such as IT & software, production, financial services, call-center & shared services or other services.
Nearly 3,000 unique extra-wage benefits, from over 2,000 providers, are included in the Benefit Online platform. In 2018, the most popular benefits chosen by the employees were meal vouchers, gifts (cards and gift vouchers), transportation settlement (to / from work), domestic tourism (holiday vouchers) and private pensions (pillar 3).
