The role of discounts, flexible rewards, and recognition at year-end
As the festive season approaches, employers are focused on finishing the year strong: maintaining engagement, driving productivity, and recognising their people. But for employees, the final quarter can bring added financial pressure, with festive season costs placing extra strain on household budgets.
Our latest Cost of Not Living Report shows how real that pressure is: 36% of ANZ employees say they feel less engaged due to cost-of-living pressures, while around two thirds say financial stress has affected their productivity at work. As employees cut back and make difficult trade-offs, many are looking to employers for practical support that helps them manage rising costs and feel valued.
In this webinar, we’ll explore how employee discounts, flexible rewards, and recognition can help organisations make a meaningful impact at year end, easing financial pressure, boosting engagement, and supporting employees through key seasonal spending periods like Black Friday, Christmas, and Boxing Day.
Join us to learn how to set your people up for a stronger end of year with festive season strategies built to make a big impact.
