Sodexo Motivation Solutions is offering organisations that purchase £500 of its multi-retailer gift voucher, SayShopping Pass, to win £5,000 of the vouchers, as well as the opportunity to enter a free prize draw for £1,000 on its dedicated Christmas competition site.

Toy store Hamleys has also joined the SayShopping network.

Iain McMath, managing director of Sodexo Motivation Solutions, said: “Times are tough and employers may not have the cash for the traditional Christmas bonus.

“However, employees are often more motivated by retail vouchers than by simple cash rewards – they appreciate their flexibility and welcome the autonomy to choose how they are spent.

“Our affiliation with Hamleys adds one more possibility for buying presents for loved ones with our vouchers.”
