Asperity Employee Benefits, the market-leading provider of integrated voluntary benefits, has been awarded the Investor in People Standard, demonstrating its committed to excellence in business performance through people.

Commenting on the award, Helen Craik, Operations Director at Asperity, said “We are really pleased to be recognised as an Investor in People. Working in the employee benefits arena, we are particularly aware of employee satisfaction and realise how important it is for our employees to be properly trained, feel valued and supported. It is also important for our clients to see that we are committed to high standards internally, as well as in our external operations.”

Simon Jones, Acting Chief Executive Officer of Investors in People, said “This is a fantastic achievement by Asperity Employee Benefits.” As a relatively new company with significant growth both by acquisition and business development, Asperity has achieved the standard in an impressive timescale and demonstrated really good practice.

London-based Asperity employs 30 staff at its Westbourne Grove office. They run the UK’s largest employee discount scheme for some of the UK’s largest companies, as well as for public sector and not-for-profit organisations. Asperity has been nominated for several awards for its market-leading platform, Reward Gateway. Since 2008 the company has also administered tax-efficient benefits like Childcare Vouchers and Cycle to Work schemes that enable employees to pay for Childcare and Bikes in a tax efficient way that means they save money.

Investors in People’s aim is to help employers across the UK to develop their
businesses by making the most of their most valuable asset – their people.
