Pluxee UK unveils new platform to supercharge employee engagement and tackle retention challenges amid rising operational costs
New unified platform offers real-time savings at over 500 retailers and automatic cash back via the Pluxee Card, offering meaningful support for employees, navigating ongoing cost of living pressures
Milton Keynes, UK, 17th November 2025 - Global employee benefits and engagement partner Pluxee, has today launched its new employee experience platform in the UK, offering a solution to the growing financial and wellbeing challenges facing the British workforce.
With cost-of-living pressures now a persistent reality and disposable income remaining stagnant, UK employees are facing a growing financial strain. At the same time, employers are navigating rising operational costs and limited flexibility on salary.
These challenges are set to intensify following the autumn budget, which may introduce further tax adjustments and spending constraints, making talent support and retention increasingly difficult.
The Pluxee UK Employee Experience platform looks to overcome these challenges by enabling employers to offer employees benefits that are simple to use and genuinely valuable, including:
- Up to 15% cashback at over 80 retailers, including major supermarkets, through the Pluxee Card
- Substantial savings for both employees and employers through salary sacrifice schemes, such as Green Car, Cycle to Work and annual leave purchasing
- Up to £1200 in savings per year for an employee on the average UK salary, with discounts at over 500 leading retailers and gyms.
- Access to Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP), which offer dedicated support for menopause, mental health, relationships, stress, and financial wellbeing
- Bonus top-ups through employee recognition and team awards
To support the employee experience, all of these benefits will now be made available through the new Pluxee App. The centralised, mobile-first experience for employees will not only help them stretch their money further, but also unlock new experiences through a suite of benefits designed to support their health, wallet and lifestyle.
On the new launch, Jonathan Attia, CEO of Pluxee UK said:
“We’re launching this platform at a time when employees are under more financial pressure than ever before, and employers are being asked to do more with less. Our goal is simple: to make it easier for organisations to support their people in ways that are meaningful, measurable, and sustainable. By bringing savings, wellbeing, and recognition into one place, we want to help businesses show up for their teams in the moments that matter most.”
Empowering HR with insight-driven engagement
The new platform makes recognising and rewarding employees effortless. The central hub consolidates fragmented systems and allows HR teams to track and boost employee engagement by up to six times, providing real-time insights on adoption, engagement and usage.
This visibility enables HR teams to deliver a personalised reward and recognition programme tailored to the individual’s needs across the employee lifecycle. By hosting all rewards and recognition options in one place, HR teams can create a unified, engaging employee experience that supports employees in a meaningful way.
Attia continued:
“HR teams are under increasing pressure to boost engagement, reduce turnover, and retain talent, all while navigating fragmented, outdated systems. We built this platform to eliminate those pain points and make HR’s job easier. By consolidating the disparate systems into one intuitive solution, HR leaders can measure adoption and deliver insights that demonstrate real impact. And with the administrative burden lifted, HR teams can focus on what truly matters – developing AI-ready talent, boosting productivity and building a future-focused, inclusive culture.”
