WHAT WE ACHIEVED

50% reduction in manual benefits administration.

Project requirements

Knauf faced significant hurdles in delivering a benefits experience that truly resonated with its workforce. With a diverse employee base spanning various roles, locations, and personal circumstances, the company needed a solution that could:

  • Support a wide range of employee needs across different demographics and job functions.
  • Ensure that benefits were clearly communicated, easy to navigate, and accessible to all, regardless of digital literacy or location.
  • Drive awareness and engagement by effectively promoting the full value of the benefits on offer.

This complexity made it difficult for employees to fully understand and take advantage of the benefits available to them, leading to underutilisation and missed opportunities.
