With 50% of employees reporting they’d stay longer at a company that recognised them, setting up Hero Points to celebrate key milestones such as birthdays and work anniversaries is one of the easiest ways you can increase loyalty and engagement.
Hero Points can be spent like real cash in the Employment Hero Work Store or via a Swag Spend account, and are available with all Australian Employment Hero subscriptions.
Hero Tip: Hero Points can be eligible for FBT exemptions up to 47% too. Discover more about maximising your benefits here .
*FBT exemptions are subject to ATO guidelines. Employers should seek their own independent advice regarding fringe benefits taxation exemption.
How to Prepare

Tip
The employees' date of birth and start date drive this milestone feature, so ensure your employee data is accurate and up to date to ensure milestones appear at the correct time.
Next Steps
When an employee’s birthday or work anniversary rolls around, they'll receive an email notification and the Hero Points will be sent straight to their account ready for spending. Don't forget to keep those Hero Points topped up to ensure that your employees receive their reward.
