Workplace Benefits That Make a Real Difference
Most organisations already spend money on their people. The question is whether that spend is actually reaching them.

My Group brings together the full range of everyday workplace benefits in one joined-up experience.
Workplace benefits are the practical support employers put in place to help people feel more financially secure, more valued, and better able to get on with their lives. When they work well, employees feel the difference. When they’re poorly communicated or hard to access, they cost money and deliver nothing.
My Group brings discounts and savings, flexible benefits, salary sacrifice, on-demand pay, and employee engagement tools, all under one login, accessible on any device.
Why do organisations offer workplace benefits?
Salary matters. But it’s rarely enough on its own to make people feel genuinely supported, and in a market where retention and recruitment are both harder than they used to be, the organisations that look after their people well have a measurable advantage.
The employers we work with come to us for different reasons. Some are building a benefits programme for the first time. Others have benefits in place that employees don’t seem to know about or use. Some have grown quickly and their current set-up hasn’t kept pace with the workforce.
What they share is a straightforward goal: they want their people to feel the difference, not just have access to a list of services they never open.
Rewards for today. Benefits for tomorrow. Protection for the future. That is what employee benefits, human support, positive impact, looks like when it actually works.

What’s the problem with most benefits packages?
If employers genuinely care about giving their people the best possible benefits package, why do so many of them feel that it falls short?
Awareness is often the real problem
Research published by Employee Benefits magazine in 2026 found that fewer than six in ten UK employees are aware of the full list of benefits their employer offers, and even when they are, a clunky sign-up process or a platform they can’t find on their phone is enough to stop them using it. The My Group Portal and range of benefits is designed with that in mind. Not by adding more features, but by making the right support easy to find, easy to understand, and worth coming back to.
Financial pressure is the most immediate concern for most employees
With household costs still elevated, the benefits that help people spend less on what they’re already buying tend to have the highest uptake and the most visible impact. Employees notice them quickly, and that visibility shapes how they feel about their employer. That’s why everyday savings and discounts sit at the centre of what we offer, and why they’re usually the right place for an organisation to start.
What workplace benefits does My Group offer?
My Group brings together several distinct areas of support within one employee experience. Most organisations begin with the areas most relevant to their workforce and add to them over time.
Employee Benefits Platform
The My Group Portal is where employees access everything, on any device, without needing a separate login for each service. It gives HR teams real-time visibility of what’s being used, and the tools to communicate benefits clearly without adding to their workload.
Discounts, Cashback and Savings
Employees get access to savings at over 1,000 UK retailers, including major supermarkets, through discounted gift cards, cashback, promo codes, and local deals. For employees who use the scheme regularly, the savings add up to hundreds of pounds over the course of a year, without changing where they shop or what they buy.
Flexible Benefits
Flexible benefits give employees more say over the support they receive, letting them choose from a range of options that suit their personal circumstances rather than receiving a fixed package from their employer.
Salary Sacrifice
Salary sacrifice arrangements let employees access certain benefits more tax-efficiently, including cycle to work and electric vehicle schemes, while creating National Insurance savings for the employer at the same time.
On-Demand Pay
On-demand pay gives employees the option to access pay they’ve already earned before the standard payday. For frontline workers, part-time staff, or anyone managing a tight monthly budget, access to earned wages when they need them can make a more immediate difference than almost any other benefit.
Employee Engagement
The best benefits package won’t deliver results if employees don’t know it’s there, or don’t feel connected to the organisation they work for. The My Group benefits range includes tools to help with both.
Total Reward Statements show people the full value of what they receive. Employee listening and pulse survey tools help organisations understand what’s working and where people need more support. Community-building tools help teams feel more connected to each other and to the business.
For employers who want practical, on-the-ground support, our Engagement Consultants work alongside your team on-site, helping employees understand what’s available and to feel confident enough to use it.
