Wickersley Partnership Trust boosts recognition 3x and saves £65,852 with Perkbox

Wickersley Partnership Trust, a multi-academy trust with over 1,200 employees across 13 schools, faced the challenge of supporting and recognizing its large, diverse workforce within a tight budget. They needed a consistent and scalable way to boost engagement and increase the value offered to staff without additional spend. To address this, they turned to the vendor Perkbox for its employee benefits and recognition platform.

By implementing Perkbox and treating it as an ongoing communications campaign, the Trust embedded the platform into recruitment, onboarding, and daily work life. The solution from Perkbox enabled a significant increase in real-time, visible recognition and delivered substantial savings for employees. The results were a high 81% activation rate, £65,852 saved by staff in 12 months, and a tripling in the volume of award nominations, dramatically boosting engagement across the organization.
