What changes
Today
With Ampezy
Bonus disappears into the bank statement, no record at the next job.
Every reward becomes a portable Merit credential with KPI context, owned by the employee.
Adoption metrics arrive at annual review, anecdotal.
Real-time adoption and retention dashboard, cohort by cohort.
Finance, sales, and HR each use separate reward tools that don't reconcile.
One platform, same dashboard for HR, the CFO, and the manager.
Each bonus requires a manual approval pass through HR and finance.
Performance campaigns auto-distribute on KPI hit, inside rules HR pre-approved.
When the employee leaves, the recognition stays locked in HR systems.
Merit credentials are the employee's property, portable on Day 1 and Day 1,000.
How it works
Design the policy in Perks: daily allowance amount, permitted categories, performance KPI rules.
Upload the employee CSV. Allowances activate the next working day.
Employees redeem at any merchant in the open network. Each spend logs to the Merit profile.
Managers run performance campaigns inside HR-pre-approved rules. No approval lag, no payroll cycle.
HR dashboard surfaces adoption and retention by cohort. One source of truth across the company.
What's at stake
HR-designed reward programs run at 30-50% field adoption per the IRF 2024 Sales Incentive Industry Report. Without a redemption and portability story, the next program lands in the same range.

At $1,090 per employee per year on non-cash incentives and 30% adoption, $763 of every $1,090 lands in the bank statement and decays. Spend without correlation to retention can't be defended at budget review.

Bonuses processed through payroll lose most of their motivational reinforcement value within 7 days of the behavior. Recognition that doesn't compound across an employee's career compounds to zero.
