Asperity Employee Benefits has launched a reward and recognition module that can be added to its Reward Gateway product.

The RealTimeReward programme enables employees to be nominated for a recognition reward, for this to be approved, and for the reward to be given in less than an hour via an electronic voucher or SMS message.

Ross Musgrove, head of product operations at Asperity, said: "Compared with traditional points and catalogue schemes, the ability to have an e-voucher or, with some retailers, an SMS text, sent in real time is a massive improvement."
