Do you take advantage of the benefits and discounts available to staff? The Human Resources Reward Team is always looking for new benefits and discounts to make available to staff. Here are some of the latest additions to the Staff Benefits SharePoint.
Mylifestyle
In December 2020, the Mylifestyle benefits hub was launched. This gives staff access to numerous retail discounts, and to the University’s Childcare Voucher Scheme (existing members only) and Cycle to Work Scheme (eligibility requirements).
The discounts section of the portal (Mydiscounts) is now more user friendly, making it easier to browse/search for specific discounts.
More information about Mylifestyle, including how to register, can be found below:
Edenred Savings App
Edenred (who are the providers of Mylifestyle and the University’s childcare voucher scheme) have recently launched a new discounts app, ‘Edenred Savings’, which enables employees who have registered for the Mylifestyle portal to access some of the discounted gift cards that are available within the ‘Mydiscounts’ section of Mylifestyle, via their mobile phone.
This can be downloaded from the App Store or wherever you usually download your apps. You will then be able to user your Mylifestyle username and password to access the discounts on the go.
Edenred hope to add additional discounts to the app by early 2022.
