Access Perks Upgrade
Your Employees Love the Savings.
Now Give Them Recognition Too.
Access Perks Ascend adds manager-driven recognition and reward points to the discount network your team already uses. Employees earn points when they're recognized and spend them right on the Access platform so every dollar of recognition goes further.
The discounts are working, but recognition is the missing piece
Your employees can save an average of $2,218 a year on everyday purchases. That's a strong foundation, but a discount platform doesn't tell someone their work matters. A recognition plus discounts platform does.
Give your managers an easy way to recognize their employees
Ascend gives managers a way to recognize great work in the moment, tie it to a company value, and attach reward points, all in under a minute. Your employees receive personalized recognition paired with points they can spend on the same discounts they already love.
Rewards go further here than anywhere else
When a manager recognizes someone, that employee feels valued. The reward points attached give that feeling something tangible. And because those points redeem on a discount network where prices are below public rates, they end up being worth even more.
You already have the discount network.
Recognition is the next step.
Ascend starts at $3 per employee per month. Plus, each month your account receives an additional $1 per employee in reward points to put toward recognition, included at no extra cost.
Managers recognize great work.
When a manager sees someone go above and beyond, they can send personalized recognition in the moment, tied to company values, with reward points attached.
Employees feel valued.
Specific, personalized recognition tells employees their work matters. Reward points make it more tangible.
Retention follows.
When recognition becomes a regular part of your culture, employees feel consistently valued. That's what keeps your best people.
Adding recognition to your savings is a conversation away
