Why Perkbox Vivup?
In an exciting stride forward for both organisations, employee benefits experts Perkbox and Vivup have joined forces to create a world-class benefits, wellbeing, and engagement platform.
With over two decades of combined experience, our goal is to enable more organisations to better support and engage their employees — something which has become essential in the wake of a global pandemic and a hard-hitting cost-of-living crisis.
From enhancing access to specialist mental health services to helping staff manage the cost of everyday essentials, our combined strengths and best-in-class solutions will create a super partnership that supports employees in all areas of life, at every stage of their career, both in and out of the workplace.
As a combined entity, we can assist more employees than ever before to live and work better through our combined expertise in the public, private, SME, and corporate sectors. Today, we collectively support more than 4 million employees across 7,500 organisations through an enhanced range of benefits and engagement solutions. Our vision is to create healthy, happy and engaged workforces by reinventing employee benefits. Together, we’re positioned to revolutionise the employee benefits landscape, driving innovation, setting new standards, and shaping the future with transformative solutions that redefine wellbeing.
