Everyone loves a great piece of tech, but the cost of the most cutting-edge gadgets can be prohibitive.
Our Technology Benefit allows your employees to spread the cost of a smartwatch or new iPad over twelve months. The payments are taken before National Insurance is deducted, saving your employee 8% on the purchase price.
What sort of technology can be purchased with the Technology Benefit?
Your employees can choose from various new technologies, including smart televisions, music systems, cameras, printers, laptops, tablets, iPads, and smartwatches. The models available are from market leaders like Apple, Asus, Lenovo, and HP and come with full warranty and support.
What is the predicted take-up of the Technology Benefit?
The Technology Beneft is extremely popular with employees, making some of the best tech available more affordable.
Most homes use devices like laptops, tablets, and printers, and employees are often delighted to have the opportunity to upgrade to newer models.
Many people will also be interested in investing in wearable tech like smartwatches that can receive messages and have health and performance tracking capabilities like those from Apple or Samsung. The UK has the highest proportion of wearable tech users in Europe. Almost fifty per cent of the population uses a smartwatch to track their health or performance during sports or exercise, so there is undoubtedly an appetite for this kind of technology.
What will the Technology Benefit do for my business?
This benefit is likely to be extremely popular and could benefit your business in several ways.
Increased loyalty and retention
The Technology Benefit is a highly visible benefit that many of your staff will find beneficial to their home lives and health. Adoption of such an attractive scheme will enhance staff loyalty and improve retention.
Improved IT literacy
Giving your staff access to new and increasingly sophisticated technology will develop their IT skills, which can only benefit work performance.
When employees upgrade their home tech, they need to learn to use more advanced packages and systems. This keeps their IT knowledge current and develops their habit of learning, making training easier.
Wearable technology is likely to become widespread in the workplace. Some fantastic innovations are coming to the workplace, whether it’s hard hats that detect the levels of noise, dangerous gas, and temperature in the environment or smart glasses that allow users to work across multiple screens anywhere.
Employees with high IT literacy and early adopter attitudes will make the transition to future changes more straightforward.
Healthier employees
Wearable technology makes it easy to set activity and exercise targets and gather real-time data on the number of steps, heart rate, and calories burned. This information can drive positive behaviour change, motivate the wearer to stay active and benefit physical and mental health.
Healthier, happier employees are more productive, energising the workplace and boosting the bottom line.
