“I think other companies will appreciate how user-friendly and time-saving Glede is, while also being an environmentally friendly way to give.”
Forte Digital is a fast-growing consulting company that helps businesses scale and grow using digital technology.
They want to create a dream workplace, with highly motivated employees who feel valued. One of the many measures they take is to recognize the good efforts of employees with small attentions. Nora Frebergsvik works as HR & Graduate Recruiter at Forte Digital, and tells why it is important.
“Our employees put in a great effort that deserves recognition. It can be effective to give attention on small and large occasions. Hopefully it provides a little extra motivation, and helps strengthen the relationship between the employees and the company.”
With 180 employees in the Oslo office, it is time-consuming to ensure that everyone gets the recognition they deserve. That is why Nora is concerned with good and effective user experiences in the services she uses to provide attention.
“It is important that the process is efficient from start to finish. Previously, we have used services that have delivered in many areas, but lacked important features. An example is invoice agreement, where we have registered receipts manually in a separate system, and then recorded expenses on them. At times, this has created a lot of extra work for us.”
Nora has also experienced that home delivery of gifts does not always work well in practice. “When we have delivered flowers and food to employees, it has happened that the recipient is not at home.”
“It's a shame when attention is left on the doormat unused.”
**An efficient and environmentally friendly gift service**
Forte Digital used Glede for the first time at the beginning of December, and since then they have given employees small and big attentions weekly through the service. Nora highlights four benefits she gets from using Glede :
- More efficient process: " Glede has a simple user interface and offers an automatic invoicing solution,” says Nora. “It allows me to provide pleasant attention in a matter of minutes.”
- Employees choose for themselves: “It’s not like we as an employer always know what the employee prefers. For example, it can be a challenge to keep track of allergies,” she says, before continuing: “The fact that employees can choose for themselves increases the likelihood that they will get something they actually want.”
- Refunds for unused gift cards: Nora likes the fact that money is refunded for unused gift cards. “That way we make sure we don’t waste our gift budget.”
- Usage overview: Through the order dashboard, Nora can map who is using the gift cards.
“We like new services and concepts that streamline time-consuming processes. Here we have Glede has come along well.”
She also highlights the environmental benefits of using Glede . “ Glede "allows us to provide pleasant attention to employees with minimal environmental footprint."
“Since it is a fully digital gift card, we avoid emissions associated with shipping and the risk of the gift ending up in the trash.”
**Perfect for nice attentions**
Nora has since received several positive comments from recipients. “The employees especially like that they can freely choose what to use the gift card for,” says Nora.
She is excited to follow the response from employees in the future, and looks forward to using Glede to provide attention in connection with, among other things, birthdays and competitions.
Nora believes many other companies will benefit from using Glede to recognize employees. “I would definitely recommend others to take advantage of Glede "It's perfect for giving nice attention from the company," she concludes.
