Case Study: Peoplecare achieves 92% employee activation and $6.8K+ staff savings with Reward Gateway

Health insurer uses employee engagement platform to bring company values and EVP to life with a culture of recognition

Peoplecare, a 200‑employee not‑for‑profit health insurer, needed to expand its employee discounts and modernize a manual recognition program (the internal “Wow” nominations) to better reflect company values while working within a tight budget. Peoplecare partnered with Reward Gateway to deploy an integrated employee engagement platform—combining employee discounts, peer‑to‑peer recognition, eCards and communications—to bring its EVP and culture of recognition to life.

Reward Gateway helped Peoplecare launch “VIP” (Very Important Peoplecarers), offering exclusive discounts at hundreds of retailers, instant social recognition through eCards (“Mwahs”) and peer‑to‑peer award nominations built into onboarding. In the first six months Reward Gateway’s platform achieved 92% employee activation, delivered $6,800+ in reported savings, enabled 1,000+ Mwahs/eCards and 65+ nominations, measurably boosting usage of recognition tools and ongoing engagement.
