Temporary workers, or ‘Temps’, are a vital part of the workforce and the economy. Companies often use them to plug gaps in their teams, to top up their team during especially busy times of the year or when they have a sudden rush of orders. It can be a tough job, going into a strange environment and getting on with the job, and often, temps miss out on the benefits permanently employed staff enjoy.
At ASL, we appreciate the hard work our Temps put into their roles, and we know they make a big difference for our clients. So, we found a way to say ‘thank you’ in a meaningful way with our Workers Rewards Scheme.
Anyone who has registered with ASL looking for work and whom we place in a temporary position is automatically enrolled in the scheme from day one of their placement. The scheme offers cashback, discounts, and offers that can be used in a huge number of places, saving you money on all sorts of things from necessities such as your weekly shop and utilities to luxuries like holidays, car hire, and coffee, and even to gifts and experience days.
Retailers signed up to the scheme include ASDA, Tesco, Ocado, Sky, LG, Samsung, Ted Baker, Adidas, Gtech, Currys, Argos, Wedgwood, Click Golf, Tui, Waterford Crystal, RAC, Café Nero, AXA Health…
You get the idea!
Almost anything you could want to save money on, whether it’s for day-to-day living, Christmas or birthday presents, motoring or pets and homeware, there’s something for everyone here. But what else does it offer? The answer is loads!
Enter prize draws and a monthly lotto, and competitions from our partners. Importantly, there is a Wellbeing section too separated into Physical Wellbeing, Financial Wellbeing, and Emotional Wellbeing.
Physical Wellbeing includes access to online fitness videos, health and wellbeing tips and tests, free eye tests and discounts with Optical Express. Discounted gym memberships are available for some of the biggest names, including David Lloyd, Nuffield, MyTime, and Pure Gym, and discounts on activewear so you can arrive for your workout with the right gear for your activity.
One of the most treasured features is the 24/7 GP Helpline, where members can access a qualified GP at any time of the day or night, every day of the year, via a telephone. You can also book virtual face-to-face consultations, which can help with specific diagnoses for some illnesses and injuries, and there is an electronic private prescription service too.
Financial well-being is a key element of happiness, and this scheme offers a range of ways to help you look after your money. From free credit scores to preferential rates for foreign currency purchases and from pensions and mortgage providers who specialise in helping workers who aren’t permanently employed, there’s so much in this section! There’s access to debt management advice and help, which can be a lifeline during tough financial times.
If your mental health is a concern or you’re feeling overwhelmed by personal issues, you have access to the Employee Assistance programme, a completely confidential support line with 24/7 access to telephone counselling and advice, and modular support through the online portal. There’s a critical incident advice line, too. And for those with elderly relatives, you can access independent care advisors who specialise in providing expert advice to ensure you find the proper care for your loved ones, helping you navigate how you fund care and deal with property and legal considerations.
As you can see, it’s a comprehensive reward scheme, the same that many permanent workers receive. Many of our Temps work through us for extended periods of time, and this is a great way for us to show our gratitude for all the hard work they put in.
So, if you’re temping through us and haven’t investigated the rewards scheme yet, look now! You’re missing out, even if you’re only taking advantage of cashback on your weekly shop! And if you are temping with us and you have a friend you think would like to work through us and benefit from the scheme too, please send them our way (we even have a Refer A Friend scheme that could earn you £50). Find details of the rewards scheme and refer a friend on our Candidate Hub .
