Physical benefits payment cards: The smart solution for your mixed workforce
Physical benefits payment cards: The smart solution for your mixed workforce
Discover how Ben's physical payment cards break down barriers to benefits access, ensuring your entire workforce - from desk-based to deskless workers - can easily use their flexible spending allowances.
Why physical cards matter for your benefits strategy
While digital payment solutions are increasingly popular, the reality is that not every employee wants - or is able - to use them. For manufacturing, healthcare, retail and transportation workers who aren't desk-based, or for employees who simply prefer traditional payment methods, physical cards can make the difference between engaging with benefits or missing out entirely.
Deskless workers often feel they don't have the same access to technology as their desk-based colleagues. When it comes to benefits, this technology gap can create a two-tier workforce where some employees get full value from their benefits while others struggle to access them.
Breaking down barriers to benefits access
Physical benefits cards solve several key challenges:
- They provide a familiar, accessible way for all employees to use their flexible spending allowance
- They eliminate the need for smartphone or digital wallet access
- They ensure equal benefits access across generational and technological divides
- They demonstrate tangible investment in employee wellbeing - something workers can physically hold in their wallets
