French startup Worklife is planning to disrupt the employee benefits market and win over leading companies with its new multi-benefit payment card.

Founded last year, the company is a cross between Fintech and HR tech and is working to provide “concrete and tangible” benefits in a post-Covid landscape to reconnect companies and employees. This includes its launch in the UK in 2023.

Said to be the most powerful multi-benefit payment card on the market, the Worklife solution makes it possible to group together all the benefits already put in place by a company – such as supplementary health insurance and employee savings – and finance new benefits with a smart payment card.

It means employees are able to take advantage of benefits including public transport passes and a Sustainable Mobility Package, along with meal vouchers, home care services and remote work allowances.

On the tech side, the Worklife card automatically recognises the type of purchase made by employees and automatically deducts it from the corresponding benefit wallet.

HR professionals can easily manage company benefits and measure their performance via their HR management interface, compatible with all internal HR tools.

This enables Worklife to track the impact on employee CO2 emissions when implementing the Sustainable Mobility Package.

Worklife has already deployed over 40,000 cards in nine months including at leading companies such as Amazon and Saint-Gobain, and plans to issue 150,000 payment cards by the end of the year. It aims to become the ultimate employee benefits management solution in Europe.

Benjamin Suchar, co-founder and CEO of Worklife, said: “Employee benefits are not the endgame but the starting point for tomorrow’s HR ambitions. Thanks to the Worklife solution, companies can now offer new flexible benefits that have a positive impact on their employee performance.”
