Recognition creates the moment. A private discount network provides the reason to come back.
An employee engagement platform for every day
Access Perks Ascend is an employee engagement platform that pairs meaningful recognition with a private discount marketplace employees can use whether or not they’ve been recognized lately.
- 1M+ discounts on the network means employees are almost always close to a deal
- Discounts span dining, shopping, entertainment, and travel, so employees find deals where they’re already spending money every day
- 99% of merchants offer in-store discounts, giving employees relevant savings in more places than any other discount network
Rewards go further on Ascend than anywhere else
A one-time reward is worth exactly its face value on other platforms. On Ascend, rewards are worth more because employees spend them on a marketplace where they're already getting below-public prices. It's the same marketplace they use between recognitions, so the reward and the daily savings create an engagement loop.

FAQs
What is Ascend employee engagement software?
Access Perks Ascend is an employee engagement platform that pairs meaningful recognition with a private discount marketplace employees can use every day, not just when they're recognized. It's built for small and mid-sized employers who want engagement that doesn't rely on a single event to work.
What makes Ascend different from other employee engagement solutions?
Most employee engagement solutions rely entirely on recognition moments to drive usage. Ascend adds a discount marketplace employees can use whether or not they've been recognized recently, so there's a reason to open the platform every day.
What kind of employee engagement tool is Ascend?
Ascend combines two tools in one: a recognition tool for managers and a discount marketplace for employees. The two work together: recognition creates the moment, the marketplace gives employees a reason to come back.
How can I improve employee engagement with Ascend?
Pair regular manager recognition with daily access to Ascend's private discount network. Employees get recognized and rewarded with points redeemable on the discount network. They can also save on dining, shopping, entertainment, and travel every day in between, so engagement doesn't depend on how often recognition happens.
How much does Access Perks Ascend cost?
Access Perks Ascend starts at $3.00 per employee per month, which includes both the recognition and rewards platform and full access to the discount marketplace. Every subscription includes $1.00 worth of reward points per team member per month, credited automatically to the Owner's monthly recognition budget. Most recognition-only platforms charge $3 to $7 per employee per month. And that's without a discount network included.
How long does it take to launch Ascend?
Most teams are live within days. OTP login through a work email means no registration codes and no lengthy IT project.
Do employees need reward points to use Ascend?
No. Every employee gets access to the discount marketplace from day one, points or not. Reward points add extra value on top when employees have them, but they're never required to start saving.
