Six in ten McDonald's staff register for new voluntary benefits scheme

Spending by staff at McDonald’s UK on the newly-launched employee discounts scheme has hit the £2 million mark within the first three months of use. This equates to over £100,000 worth of savings. Despite the vast majority of McDonald’s workforce being spread across 1,200 restaurants, as many as 60% of its 80,000 staff have registered for the scheme through the company’s staff web site “ourlounge”.

The scheme, provided by Asperity Employee Benefits, includes discounts at more than 1,700 retailers, cashback offers and discounted gift vouchers.

The scheme has been integrated with the “ourlounge” internal staff web site, which “enables McDonald’s employees to access the discounts scheme quickly and easily”.

A final word

“Our employee discount scheme is a fundamental part of our employee web site ‘ourlounge’. Nearly half of all our employees log on every day to look at their schedules, enter competitions, or go on the employee discounts site. Our people tell us it is one of the things they value really strongly in their benefits package. It is a central pillar of how to engage employees.” - Jez Langhorn, UK HR director, McDonald’s.
