How to Use My Staff Shop: A Practical Guide to Everyday Savings
Supporting your team with meaningful benefits is one of the most effective ways your business can improve engagement, reduce financial stress and enhance overall wellbeing. But even the best platforms can go underutilised when they feel complicated or disconnected from everyday life.
My Staff Shop is built to change that. By focusing on the things your employees already spend money on, the platform helps them make real savings without changing their routines. While there is a lot more to explore, including the Employee Assistance Programme and monthly lottery, this guide focuses on one of the most popular features: the discounts and savings hub.
Start with everyday spending
The beauty of My Staff Shop is that your employees do not need to do anything differently to benefit. The platform fits around their existing habits, whether that is the weekly food shop, commuting costs or planning a weekend away.
Our discount scheme gives employees access to awide range of exclusive savings across some of the UK’s biggest and most popular retailers. This includes the UK’s major supermarkets, high street and online fashion stores, electrical retailers and top-name brands across various sectors. You will also find offers on health and fitness memberships, including access to many of the UK’s leading gyms. Employees can browse by category or search for a specific retailer, so finding a savings takes very little time. Many leading brands and stores have discounts with My Staff Shop.
Gift Vouchers
Once an employee has found a retailer they love, they can purchase a discounted gift voucher directly through the platform. It is worth checking the voucher terms beforehand to confirm whether it can be used in-store, online or both. For even more flexibility, the Love2Shop card lets employees spend across more than 90 high street brands and attractions, and can be topped up whenever needed, making it a great option for regular use.
Redeeming a voucher is straightforward. In-store, employees can either show a printed voucher or pull up their e-voucher on their phone. Online, they simply activate the voucher code and enter it at checkout in the gift voucher section. The whole process is designed to be quick and easy, so savings never feel like extra effort.
Reward beans
My Staff Shop gives employees two ways to benefit from their purchases. With instant savings, the discount is applied straight away. With Reward Beans, savings are converted into a digital currency that builds up over time. Reward Beans give employees the freedom to choose how and when they use what they have accumulated, making the experience feel a lot more personal than a one-size-fits-all reward.
Reward Beans are more than just a loyalty perk. They give employees a way to turn everyday savings into something meaningful. Whether someone is saving towards a holiday, a big purchase, a charitable cause or just building up a personal pot, the platform lets them set their own goals and work towards them at their own pace. It is a simple idea that makes the benefit feel genuinely worthwhile.
Shop on the go with the app
The My Staff Shop app makes everything even more accessible. Available on iOS and Android, it lets employees browse offers, access their vouchers, save their favourite retailers and keep an eye on new and daily deals, all from their phone. Having everything available at the point of purchase means the platform becomes a natural part of how your team shops, rather than something they remember only occasionally.
A benefits platform your team will actually use
Low engagement is one of the biggest challenges with employee benefits, and it usually comes down to relevance. If a perk does not connect with how people actually live, it will not get used. My Staff Shop is designed around everyday life, making it easy to use and easy to see the value in. That is why it consistently delivers results for both employees and the organisations that offer it.
