Our take
The way companies reward their employees today is often a one-size-fits-all model that hasn't evolved to meet the demands of the modern workforce.
Businesses wanting to attract top talent frequently look for ways to win over candidates with additional work perks like free lunches, healthcare and discounts. However, this benefits infrastructure is inflexible and so Ben wants to become this infrastructure.
By issuing prepaid payment cards to each team member, Ben allows employees to choose how they want to be rewarded. This unlocks benefits that people actually want while reducing the amount of admin. It is also working to become a Ben is looking to solve a problem the problem of benefit flexibility. Benefits aren't flexible, but why? We argue it's because the infrastructure itself isn't flexible and therefore, we have the ambitious goal which is to essentially become the financial infrastructure of employee benefits. Prepayments cards are part of the proposition to enable benefit flexibility, but they alone don't solve the problem. We therefore need to be more than a SaaS platform. We need to be a data company, a marketplace and so much more to make this happen!
It's this handing over of autonomy which differentiates them from others in the space. By putting the decision making in the hands of employees, it will allow companies to see how their workforce wants to be rewarded and extract meaningful insight through detailed spend analytics with zero hassle.

At Ben were trying to enable companies to offer benefits and allowance cards at a global scale. It's a complex product that continually presents interesting and challenging problems to solve from a product and design point of view. We are challenged to ship efficiently yet retain a high quality of code, design and user experience. I love challenging myself to work smarter, refine processes yet retain super high quality output.

At Ben we pride ourselves on being able to have open and honest dialogs with our colleagues and leaders. We have weekly 121 meetings with our line managers to give and receive feedback and to discuss work and how we're feeling. Some of these meetings have been the most meaningful and impactful of my career, helping to increase my self-belief and abilities. We also encourage positive and critical feedback between colleagues to help each other grow in our roles. We seek to elevate each other in ways that increase our value inside and outside of the company.
