The challenge
Tumelo wanted to better recognise and reward employees in a way that wouldn’t mean implementing several one-size-fits-all solutions in order to cater to every demographic. They wanted a solution that was flexible enough to be used by the entire workforce across remote and office based employees and help sustain a positive company culture.
The outcome
Since launching Heka, the Tumelo team has seen a huge impact on the way that employees view and openly communicate about their wellbeing. This has seen Tumelo receive a 5-star rating on Glassdoor based on employee reviews with many talking about the great benefits available and the great company culture.
“A traditional benefits package would have just worked against us.” - Laura Cloherty, Employee Experience Manager at Tumelo
Tumelo understands the importance of wellbeing in the workplace and wanted nothing short of brilliance when it came to their employee benefits.
Laura Cloherty, Tumelo’s Employee Experience Manager explained, “The best thing of all, is that there’s very little need for support or assistance from the Heka team”. We know that the last thing HR teams need when implementing a new benefits solution is more admin. That’s why employees using Heka are able to book and buy exactly what they want, when they want it.
“Benefits are really important. Compensation to us isn’t just salary. Salary pays the bills but benefits have to actually benefit the individual. We’re not a one size fits all company, so we wouldn’t want a one size fits all benefits package.” - Laura Cloherty, Employee Experience Manager at Tumelo
Talk of the office
/has been “unbelievably popular” with the Tumelo team, and something that is the talk of the office, regularly.
One Tumelo team employee summarised the vast array of options available on Heka by saying “I love the wide variety of choices, and can't wait to experience more things.”
Heka credits well spent by the Tumelo team
“We have a Heka Ideas slack channel, the team posts regularly about the latest things they have tried.” - Laura Cloherty, Employee Experience Manager at Tumelo
Another team member stated: “My gym membership is fantastic, but I really enjoyed the healthy meals (great for lunch breaks!)”
“Heka fits our culture so well”
Tumelo said that since implementing Heka into their benefits offering, it has “gone a huge way in helping the team feel valued”.
The sheer variety on Heka means there’s something for everyone at Tumelo. Laura says that some of the team have taken up yoga since buying a new mat through Heka — giving them the opportunity to try new things and support their mental health, which is something the Tumelo team have openly expressed.
Seamless employee wellbeing
Heka is designed to make implementing and managing wellbeing benefits a positive experience for HR and leadership teams.
Laura told us that “everything works seamlessly”. From platform onboarding to finding experiences, Tumelo’s team quickly learnt how to leverage our platform to personalise their wellbeing.
Finally, Tumelo’s team are always on the lookout for new experiences and said the regular addition of new partners “sparks joy in our team”.
