About HealthKart

HealthKart, part of Bright LifeCare Pvt. Ltd., is committed to the mission of creating world-class health and wellness brands for consumers worldwide.

As one of their top fitness brands, HealthKart has over two million customers. Founded in 2011, it is an omnichannel marketplace for buying nutrition products online or from 100+ stores. The brand also provides diet counseling with a team of 200+ experts.

Challenge

Amidst the pandemic in 2020, employees and organizations worldwide started working remotely due to the unprecedented shift to a virtual workforce. While everyone was still adjusting to the new normal, there were times when employees lacked the same level of energy or enthusiasm while working from home, and it was easy for employees to disengage from their job. This reduced employee engagement and impacted employee productivity.

Like many other organizations, Healthkart realized that one of the best ways to keep their remote employees engaged and boost their morale was by running an effective rewards program. They had to identify a platform that recognized employees for their contributions to the organization and encourage them with high-impact monetary rewards.

However, many of the current rewards and incentivizing solutions came with their challenges.‍ And it was vital for them to come across a holistic solution that was also cost-effective.

The Evaluation Process

Some of the direct benefits Healthkart wanted to reap from an employee recognition solution were :

  • Engage with their employees in times of 100% remote work.
  • Increased Productivity, irrespective of the place of work.
  • Improve employee retention over a period of time.
  • Align employees with the values and purpose of the company.

They felt the need for an employee rewards platform that would help drive the sense of achievement and felicitate employees periodically on a common platform, motivating them intrinsically.

HealthKart chose Xoxoday Plum for the following reasons:

  2. Rewarding employees with Xoxoday vouchers, which could be redeemed at the time of their choice, was welcomed as a simple yet effective tool by both the business managers and employees. It also acted as a great way to recognize and reward the remote employees.
  3. For the Senior Management and HR, this reduced the effort of looking or purchasing the right gift card from an e-commerce portal and made the whole process of reward distribution much more straightforward and hassle-free.
  4. Plum offered great onboarding and customer service experience. The sales team of Xoxoday Plum walked HealthKart through the entire platform and understood their use case very thoroughly.
