While our long-term work included building a clear rewards philosophy, modernizing compensation, and evolving benefits, I quickly realized we had a more immediate opportunity: our employee perks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like many companies, we offered perks that were well-intentioned but we questioned whether they were the right investments for our people. So instead of tweaking around the edges, we chose to start fresh by grounding everything in empathy, strategy, and real data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-starting-where-every-good-hr-project-starts-with-the-truth\"><strong>Starting where every good HR project starts: with the truth<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we could introduce anything new, we needed an unfiltered view of what already existed. Too often, HR teams jump straight to solutions, but without the truth, you end up solving the wrong problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We began by <a href=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/blog\/employee-benefit-plan-audit-signs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mapping our current perks ecosystem<\/a> end-to-end to better understand what we offered, who actually used it, what it cost, and how easy (or not) it was to administer. We discovered that many of our current perks were underutilized, misaligned, or simply too complicated to be worth the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This data told us <em>what <\/em>was happening, but now we needed to know <em>why<\/em>. So we went straight to the source, our employees, to get their feedback and help on shaping the path forward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our incredible People Ops Director at the time led a companywide <a href=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/blog\/create-an-employee-benefits-survey-with-example-questions-template\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">perks survey<\/a> asking employees what they valued, what they could live without, and what they wished we offered. We also sat down with our ERGs to better understand unique needs across identities and lived experiences, because \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/blog\/lsa-pros-and-cons-guide-lifestyle-spending-accounts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one-size-fits-all<\/a>\u201d never actually fits anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within weeks, we had a clearer picture of what mattered most to our employees. They wanted perks that offered flexibility, aligned with their actual lives, and were clear and accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-building-something-better-and-more-human\"><strong>Building something better \u2014 and more human<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Armed with these insights from employees, we set out to rebuild a perks program that truly worked for our people and for the business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our goal was simple but ambitious: design a program that reflected our values, aligned with our newly crafted Total Rewards philosophy, supported diverse needs, and could scale alongside the company. Equally important? It had to be much easier for our Benefits Manager to administer (more on this below!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s where we landed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>We evolved some existing perks.<\/strong> Our home-office stipend was revamped, we added <a href=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/blog\/employee-tuition-reimbursement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tuition reimbursement<\/a> to our <a href=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/use-cases\/learning-and-development-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">learning and development stipend<\/a>, and we expanded our <a href=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/use-cases\/family-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">family planning support<\/a> and family concierge services. We also expanded our gender-affirming care stipend to better meet the needs of eligible employees.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>We offered some new options. <\/strong>We introduced a <a href=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/use-cases\/wellness-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wellness\/fitness stipend<\/a> and a therapy stipend. One key learning was that having a standalone therapy stipend was important to our employees. Culturally, it sent a message that employees wouldn\u2019t have to choose between using the wellness stipend for a gym membership or therapy \u2014 they could do both. Operationally, it mitigated potential barriers to access to <a href=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/guide\/mental-health-stipends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mental health support<\/a> for employees who wanted to reduce their out-of-pocket costs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>We thought beyond the stipends.<\/strong> In addition to financial-based stipends, the feedback from employees elevated a need for more holistic well-being support. We introduced monthly self-care days and no-meeting Fridays as a starting point to address some of the things that were impacting employee productivity and morale.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>After crunching the numbers and securing buy-in from other execs, it was time to put our new program into action. This included the critical step of solving for ease of use and administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-enter-compt-our-secret-weapon\"><strong>Enter Compt \u2014 our secret weapon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Designing the right perks program was only half the challenge. The other half that every HR leader knows all too well is making sure the program could actually run without burning out our People team and confusing employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Benefits Manager was (and still is) an absolute rockstar: service-oriented, committed to a top-notch employee experience, and has never met a challenge she wouldn\u2019t tackle head-on. However, she had too many manual tasks to manage. Things like verifying receipts, untangling spreadsheets, and chasing the never-ending \u201cWhere do I submit this?\u201d questions were taking up a lot of her time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We needed a way to administer the perks program that was flexible, compliant, easy for employees to navigate, and met the needs of our program administrators and friends in Finance. This is where <a href=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/request-a-demo\/?internal_source=blog_textcta_middle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Compt was a lifesaver<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After researching a few tools, we landed on Compt because it offered exactly what we needed: an <a href=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/request-a-demo\/?internal_source=blog_textcta_middle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">employee lifestyle benefits platform<\/a> that allowed us to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Set up multiple stipends<\/strong>, each with its own amount, cadence, and eligibility criteria.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vastly improve the <a href=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/how-it-works\/employee-experience\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">employee experience<\/a><\/strong> with visibility into exactly what was available to them, what they\u2019d submitted throughout the year, and balances they should be sure to use before any cut-off dates. It also created a smooth submission process \u2014 no more hunting for forms!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ensure compliance and protect employee privacy<\/strong>, especially for sensitive categories like mental health.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Easily track real-time utilization<\/strong> (with some <a href=\"https:\/\/compt.helpscoutdocs.com\/category\/61-payroll-reporting-company-admin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">amazing, detailed reports<\/a>) so we could monitor the effectiveness of our new program on an ongoing basis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Provide our Finance friends visibility<\/strong> into utilization and spend so budgets can be monitored and updated accordingly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eliminate manual approvals<\/strong> with automated workflows that would scale with us as the company grew.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>The outcome? <\/em><\/strong>Employees loved the flexibility. Finance appreciated the accuracy and transparency. Our Benefits Manager loved the administrative simplicity and the tons of time she got back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compt helped us take a human-centered perks strategy and operationalize it in a modern, scalable, data-driven way. It was the right strategy and the right system working together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-i-learned\"><strong>What I learned<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rebuilding a perks program in the midst of workplace disruption confirmed for me the power of human-centered design and that companies should do their best to meet people where they are. When you strip away assumptions and actually listen, employees will tell you exactly what they need. When you pair that insight with flexible, well-designed, well-administered programs, the results are undeniable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies and HR\/Total Rewards leaders are navigating <a href=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/blog\/employee-grocery-stipends-support-workers-fast-amid-rising-food-costs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rising costs<\/a> (e.g., healthcare and other operational costs), which means every investment has to be the right one. Perks can\u2019t be viewed as just the \u201cextras\u201d off to the side that go unmanaged and unmonitored until it\u2019s time to cut costs. They must be strategic and responsive to your unique business and employee needs in a way that strengthens trust, culture, and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re rethinking how to design perks that actually work for your people and your HR team, <a href=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/request-a-demo\/?internal_source=blog_textcta_end\">request a demo<\/a> to see how Compt makes flexible, human-centered benefits easy to run.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Want more customer input?
