Ten months following its acquisition by Edenred SE for £1.11bn, Reward Gateway has significantly contributed to a 25.7% increase in operating revenue for Edenred’s Benefits & Engagement business line, which reported £1,244m in 2023. The growth reflects a 19.5% like-for-like increase, with Reward Gateway continuing to experience double-digit growth.
The integration has created a leading force in the HR technology field, with the combined entity now boasting 12,000 employees worldwide and generating total revenues of over €2.5bn, marking a 23.7% increase from the previous year.
The migration of hundreds of Edenred’s UK clients to Reward Gateway’s single employee engagement platform has enhanced the user experience significantly, boosting engagement across thousands of employees in the UK.
Clients from both the private and public sectors have been reassured by the group’s financial security and its stringent data security policies, typical of a large listed corporate entity. Notable new clients include The Post Office, The Chevron Group, and Valleys to Coast Group, which selected Reward Gateway following a competitive process.
Laura Morris, head of communications and engagement at Valleys to Coast Group, praised Reward Gateway, saying: “Reward Gateway has provided the ideal solution for us to engage our diverse workforce, whether they are field, or office-based. The platform is easy to use and customise, allowing us to put key business information right in front of our colleagues every time they log on, as well as providing a friendly space to recognise achievements and benefit from great retailer discounts.”
Additionally, over one million public sector employees are set to benefit from the Reward Gateway I Edenred engagement platform. Edenred also supports public social programs in over 70 organisations, delivering financial aid to more than 770,000 vulnerable individuals annually.
More details on Reward Gateway I Edenred’s product vision, new launches, and unique positioning will be available at the leading HR industry event, The Summit, on the 15th of May.
