Last year, Reward Gateway launched a platform for small businesses, targeting UK organizations with fewer than 100 employees. Available via desktop and mobile app, the product combines employee discounts, recognition tools and well-being features.
The product, Reward Gateway for Small Business, leverages the technology used by the company’s core platform for larger organizations. At the time, COO Rob Boland said the SMB product was “designed with today’s small business in mind.”
The company also launched SmartInsights, an analytics engine. Available on the SMB platform, the package provides employers with intelligence on overall engagement, recognition activity, benefit uptake and social responses. In addition to information on the workforce, the tool includes a manager results dashboard to help identify areas of possible improvement on the team, division or department level.
