BUSINESS REPORT ENGAGING WITH EMPLOYEES
Milton Keynes and Northampton -based solicitors, Franklins, has launched an innovative benefits and recognition platform for its employees. The new mobile platform,
provided by a local employee benefits and engagement consultancy, is designed to promote further employee engagement and happiness across the business and enhance the firm’s recognition rich culture. As a local employer and recruiter, Franklins recognises
people are motivated not only by a good income but by access to the right choice of perks and benefits. The firm’s new mobile platform provides
employees with a single point of access to existing benefits, engagement tools, recognition hub, a health plan, wellbeing resources, online learning plus retail and leisure discounts. The platform is also accessible via a Franklins-
‘DESIGNED
TO PROMOTE FURTHER EMPLOYEE
branded mobile optimised web app, meaning employees can access their benefits anytime, anyplace - for example, the top food, drink, travel, entertainment, cinema and gym discounts to save money outside of work. The Recognition Hub enables employees to be recognised on a
ENGAGEMENT AND HAPPINESS’
peer-to-peer, manager to employee or customer to employee basis and this is shared on the platform’s social media style feed for all staff to see. This innovative online tool enables staff to recognise employee contributions and behaviours which align with Franklins' core values: Trust, Passion, Excellence and United.
GROWTH IS EASY FOR RECRUITERS
There’s been lots of growth and development at EasyWeb Group recently, with the launch of a new division and 10 new employees across the business – it’s been a busy couple of months! A new division, EasyWeb
Partners, has been launched with a dedicated team to help HR consultants and HR consultancy organisations support their clients’ recruitment needs. EasyWeb Partners offers a range of services including applicant tracking software, recruitment campaigns, free engagement survey tools, free employer brand audit reports and more. Almost every team in the
company has had a new starter. Having all these new employees has meant that EasyWeb Group’s new employee onboarding scheme, led by training manager Jess Brosnan, where every new starter receives a welcome pack and an induction/training schedule, has had plenty of chance to be put to use!
