Seatfrog, Sessions and Venuescanner boost support for staff by saving them money on bills

Train tech company Seatfrog, food brand startup Sessions and event tech startup Venuescanner are among the employers introducing new financial wellbeing support to employees – helping them save hundreds of pounds each on their household bills.

The companies are providing all their employees with membership to AI money-saving tool Nous.co, in order to support their teams with cost-of-living pressures and help their money go further.

Nous automates the hassle of finding fair deals for energy, broadband, mobile and mortgages and handles the headache of switching to cheaper providers – saving members time, energy and money.

Through Nous for Business, employers can provide free Nous membership to their workforce. These businesses join more than 70 companies, including IAG Loyalty and Futureheads, saving their people money through Nous for Business.

All three companies already offer employees a range of competitive benefits: Sessions offers its team of more than 60 employees flexible paydays, bonus schemes and healthcare support, whilst Seatfrog offers childcare support, private healthcare, and a four-day working week. Venuescanner offers employees unlimited holiday, a monthly performance-based bonus and funding for learning & training.

Nous typically finds savings worth up £400 to £500 per person per year across their household bills. For some team members at these organisations, the savings opportunities identified for them by Nous were worth more than £1000.

The rollout comes at a time when rising prices are the number one source of concern for UK employees. 4 in 10 energy bill payers are struggling to afford payments and three quarters of HR leaders fear the cost of living crisis is affecting employee performance.

Kelly Davis, Head of People at Sessions, comments: “At Sessions, we're proud to offer a range of innovative benefits and support that genuinely help our team in their daily lives.

"We knew the rising cost of living was a source of stress for the team, so we wanted a practical solution that meant employees’ money went further, but didn’t add yet another job to their to-do list.

"Offering Nous was an ideal fit. Not only does it find significant savings, it takes away the stress and hassle of handling bills that no one wants to be dealing with.

"What's more, it's something every member of the team can benefit from."

Alex Slater, Head of People at Seatfrog, comments: “Our package of wellbeing support is something we pride ourselves on at Seatfrog.

"We're committed to creating a supportive culture where our people can do their best work – and that means helping them with the things that impact their daily lives.

"Some of the benefits already on offer include a four-day working week, plus healthcare options to take care of our team and their families.

"With the rising cost of living hitting us all, we knew we wanted to support employees' financial wellbeing too.

"With Nous, our team is able to save substantial sums on their bills. Plus it takes the headache of dealing with household admin off their plates."

Greg Marsh, CEO and co-founder of Nous.co, said: “We’re delighted to have found such significant savings for Venuescanner, Sessions and Seatfrog employees on their household bills.

“As well as improving employees’ financial wellbeing, we’re also taking the headache of managing bills and contracts off their hands. We often hear that peace of mind is just as important as financial benefits.

“Increasingly, we’re seeing HR leaders focusing their efforts on supporting their employees with the things that really matter to them. Nous is in a unique position to help by putting money straight into people’s pockets and directly tackling the problem of soaring bills.”
