Today’s employees are looking at the bigger picture. Alongside salary, they value flexibility, freedom of choice, and benefits that actually add value to their daily lives. That’s why benefits platforms are becoming more and more important.

Through a digital platform, employees gain access to their benefits, such as sports subscriptions, bike schemes, coaching, and leave, and can manage these themselves. This gives them more control, while it provides employers with an overview and reduces administrative hassle.

No wonder that the number of benefits platforms in the Netherlands has grown significantly. The good news is: there is a suitable platform for every organisation. But which platform is the best fit for your organisation? In this overview, we present four well-known providers, each with their own strengths and points of attention, so you as an HR professional or employer can make an informed decision.
