The increasing prevalence of remote and hybrid work environments is expected to support the expansion of the employee discount scheme market in the coming years. Remote and hybrid work environments involve flexible working arrangements that enable employees to work from home or divide their time between home and office locations. The growth of these work models is largely driven by advancements in digital communication technologies, which facilitate real-time collaboration, reliable video conferencing, and secure cloud-based access to work systems from any location. Employee discount schemes support remote and hybrid work by boosting employee engagement and satisfaction through easily accessible perks and benefits, irrespective of physical workplace presence. For example, in February 2023, according to the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government department, between September 2022 and January 2023, 16% of working adults who had worked in the previous seven days reported working entirely from home, while 28% indicated a combination of remote work and commuting to a workplace. Consequently, the growing adoption of remote and hybrid work environments is contributing to the growth of the employee discount scheme market.
