Pluxee Revolutionizes Workplace Engagement with New AI-Powered Rewards and Recognition Platform

Pluxee Philippines, the trusted leader in employee benefits and rewards solutions, launches its new Rewards and Recognition (R&R) platform to redefine employee experience and 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, a 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 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.

“The employee engagement landscape has drastically changed, and technology influenced this transformation. 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.”
