Meet the new Perkbox

Something big’s been in the making – and today, we finally get to share it. 

After joining forces in 2024, Perkbox and Vivup are officially united under a single mission, platform, and name – as a brand new Perkbox. That partnership has created the UK’s first fully unified employee experience platform, built from the best of both businesses – and we’re proud to be launching it today.  

The new and evolved Perkbox platform brings together five key unified areas: benefits, wellbeing, celebration, perks, and admin – all in one place for both HR teams and their employees.  

It’s a space where organisations can care for, connect with, and celebrate their people. And it delivers all of that with less complexity and more impact for the same investment.  

Most importantly, it means every employee can find something meaningful – from everyday supermarket savings to mental health support – with a smoother experience that makes life easier for HR and more rewarding for workforces. 

The best of both worlds

With Vivup’s decades of public sector know-how and Perkbox’s tech-driven innovation for the private sector, we’ve been able to create something stronger than either could deliver alone.

We’ve seen the challenges NHS workers face on the frontline, and listened to private sector teams tackling hybrid and desk-based work. We’ve also heard from charities, education providers, retailers, and beyond – and those insights have helped us build a platform designed to work for everyone.

But the story doesn’t stop at two worlds. With Let’s Connect and TERC now part of the family, the new Perkbox is stronger than ever.

Let’s Connect adds its reputation as a highly regarded provider of technology salary sacrifice benefits, trusted by both public and private sector clients. TERC (The Employee Resilience Company) brings its expertise in therapeutic counselling services, helping workforces live healthier, happier, more productive lives.

So maybe it’s not the best of both worlds after all? It’s really the best of four.

And because it all lives in one app, people connect and engage more naturally – and employers see those moments translate into everyday value.

Doug Butler, our CEO, captures it perfectly: 

“Under our ‘new’, but recognisable, single brand name of Perkbox, we’re excited to be introducing our unified platform – leveraging the proven, market-leading benefits, wellbeing and engagement solutions of our legacy businesses. Through one innovative platform and associated mobile app, we’ll provide our clients with unique solutions for their people that are accessible, impactful, used – and useful.”

Raising the game

Over the past year, our merged team has combined the strengths of both sides, adding enhancements across  these key areas:  

Payroll benefits: Building on Vivup’s public sector expertise, the platform now offers 11 salary sacrifice benefits – all in a single app.

This includes a seamless experience of Vivup’s signature Home and Electronics and Cycle to Work schemes, where employees can order directly through the app and get items delivered straight to their door. That means no vouchers – and no hopping between platforms. 

The experience has also been upgraded with smarter automation and personalisation, so benefit options line up with the criteria set by each employer.

Wellbeing: Health and wellbeing benefits – including an Employee Assistance Programme and Online GP – are now combined under one roof.

An upgraded wellbeing library comes with targeted playlists that shine a light on critical wellbeing areas, available to every client at no cost. It’s all part of our belief that every employee should have the support they need to thrive, at work and at home.

Engagement: Perkbox’s flagship app experience – recently recognised by G2 for Highest ROI in Enterprise and Fastest Implementation – now takes Perks (discounts and offers) and Celebration (recognition and reward) to the next level with powerful new enhancements.

These include a cashback scheme (with easy payment methods like Apple and Google Pay) and an advanced budget management tool designed to support organisations with complex structures and multiple cost centres.

Our Chief Product Officer, Ankur Sharma, adds:

"We're listening closely to our clients and using their feedback to shape what comes next. Our focus is on continuous innovation, bringing new capabilities and smarter experiences to the platform so it keeps evolving to meet the changing needs of organisations – and their people."
