Our Story

Our Journey: Helping Employees Keep More of What They Earn

  1. The company’s roots trace back to founder Jonathan Rapport, who set out to build a platform focused on authentic, deeply negotiated savings delivered directly to employees.

    From the beginning, Jonathan prioritized building direct relationships with merchants, attractions, and travel suppliers rather than relying on public coupons or affiliate-driven offers.

    As the platform grew, organizations including VCA, SpaceX, and Nestlé became early adopters, validating the demand for a more trusted and scalable employee savings solution.

    2005

    The Foundation

  2. What began as a platform focused on entertainment and ticket savings evolved into a broader employee discounts and perks platform as employers sought more ways to support their workforce.

    Today, Great Work Perks serves more than 20,000 organizations and 10 million+ employees across 45+ countries, delivering savings across travel, entertainment, dining, shopping, wellness, and everyday purchases.

    Platform Evolution

    From Ticket Savings to Everyday Value

  3. The direct supplier relationships that defined the company’s earliest years became the foundation for a broader strategy. As the platform expanded, Great Work Perks invested heavily in direct supplier contracts, engineered its own Merchant of Record infrastructure, and developed enterprise-grade security and support capabilities.

    While the scale of the platform has grown significantly, the mission has remained unchanged: helping employees save money on the products, services, experiences, and travel they already purchase.

    Enterprise Buildout

    Built for Scale and Trust

  4. Great Work Perks was recognized on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies and as an Inc. Power Partner for HR and People Operations.

    2025

    Recognition for Growth and HR Impact

  5. Today, Great Work Perks helps organizations strengthen employee financial wellness by connecting their workforce to more than 2.5 million offers, including 500,000+ local offers alongside global travel, hotels, and experiences worldwide.

    Through direct supplier relationships, closed-user-group pricing, and trusted transaction infrastructure, the platform creates measurable savings that employees can use every day.

    Global Savings at Workforce Scale

From the beginning, our goal was simple: help employees keep more of what they earn by giving them access to pricing and savings they couldn’t possibly find anywhere else.

Our Model

How the Great Work Perks Model Works

Great Work Perks is built around three operational pillars that, together, define how the company sources savings, processes transactions, and supports employees.

Our Model diagram showing private employee pricing, verified access, and accountable transactions

Direct Supplier Relationships

Great Work Perks contracts directly with global brands, attractions, hotels, car rentals, and local merchants rather than relying on affiliate networks. These direct relationships enable exclusive closed-user-group pricing, stronger supplier partnerships, and access to private offers that are not available through public channels.

Closed User Group (CUG) Pricing

A closed user group is a private audience whose membership is verified before access is granted. Because offers are not publicly available, suppliers can provide exclusive pricing and benefits that may not be available through public channels. Great Work Perks uses a closed-user-group model to deliver exclusive savings to eligible employees while helping suppliers protect their public pricing and brand positioning.

Merchant of Record (MoR) Infrastructure

Great Work Perks acts as the Merchant of Record on the transactions it sells. A Merchant of Record is the entity legally responsible for processing a transaction. Rather than redirecting employees to disconnected checkout experiences, Great Work Perks securely manages the transaction, billing, payment processing, and customer experience through its own commerce infrastructure.

Our Supplier Model

Why Suppliers Choose Great Work Perks

Private employee pricing without public discounting.

Great Work Perks gives suppliers access to verified employee and member audiences without requiring them to publicly discount their brand. Because eligibility is controlled and pricing is distributed through a private closed user group, suppliers can protect public rates, manage availability, and reach a valuable audience through one accountable distribution partner.

This model helps suppliers preserve brand integrity while giving employees access to pricing and benefits not broadly available on public consumer channels. It is also what makes the savings genuinely exclusive: because Great Work Perks works as a managed distribution channel rather than a coupon aggregator, the pricing and terms are reserved for eligible employees and cannot simply be found elsewhere.
