Europe’s fastest growing employee perks platform has announced the the next stage of its expansion plans as it moves into Australia.

Perkbox Australia is currently building its portfolio of perks with providers looking to cater for employee benefits, including physical, financial and emotional.

After a successful initial launch in the UK, the London-headquartered firm will also be offering two of its new products, ‘Perkbox Insights’ and ‘Perkbox Recognition’ in this new market.

With offices in The Commons, the majority of the Australian team is made up of Perkbox staff previously based in its London office.

The company said the moves was made to ensure the company starts off with an experienced talent pool and is able to remain relevant and competitive, whilst keeping the company’s culture intact.

Founded in 2015, the business has already signed up a number of companies as customers including co-working workspace Emerge Sydney, food and beverage startup Hey You, suit maker Institchu and SME loans company Valiant Finance.

It estimates it will welcome another 2,000 companies by the end of the year.

“Since our very beginnings in 2015, we set off to build a clean and intuitive solution that helps businesses improve their culture and motivate their team without breaking the bank,” said Ben Leeds, Country Manager of Perkbox Australia.

“Today marks the start of an exciting new phase here at Perkbox, as we move towards spreading our ‘Perkbox movement’ into yet another market, slowly turning this into a global revolution.”

Saurav Chopra, Co-founder and CEO of Perkbox added: “Paying for top talent is important but money isn’t the only thing that makes employees happy – and Australians know it.”
