Perkbox expands into France with new employee benefit programme

London-based Perkbox is set to expand internationally into France following revenue growth of 137 per cent since 2016.

Perkbox is an employee engagement platform. Perkbox France is currently building its portfolio of perks with providers such as IKEA, Sephora, FNAC, Decathlon and Zalando, looking to cater for employee wellbeing - physically, financially and emotionally.

Due to French legal employment obligations, French companies have to provide their staff with mandatory benefits, including health, pension and unemployment benefits, business expenses and paid holidays.

Saurav Chopra, co-founder and CEO of Perkbox, said: “Our goal is to become the biggest engagement platform worldwide that helps foster the entire employee experience of every company’s staff.

“Our expansion into France shows our ongoing commitment to achieve this. We have listened to our clients’ demands and are now acting upon them.

“It’s the start of an exciting new phase here at Perkbox, as we launch globally. With a new generation of products going live alongside these expansion plans, it’s not only about location but about delivery.

“We want to ensure we are offering our customers all the support they need to build happier workplaces.”

Perkbox France’s strategy will initially be centered around sub 250 companies.

With this being an almost untapped ground, 450 SMEs have already registered to launch with Perkbox. The company has plans to have 3,000 up and running on the platform by the end of 2018 and will be expanding further across Europe within the next year.
