Caboodle Technology expand internationally with launch of bespoke platform for Acacium Group UK, US and Ireland employees
Caboodle Technology has expanded its market-leading employee benefits platform internationally by extending Acacium Group’s bespoke flex platform to its US and Ireland teams.
Acacium Group, the UK’s largest healthcare solutions provider, employ over 2000 employees worldwide and have worked with caboodle to deliver a wide range of employee benefits through a tailored employee benefits platform.
The expansion marks a first international venture for Caboodle Technology after working hard to implement the infrastructure needed to extend its innovative employee benefits and engagement solutions to organisations overseas.
An international platform to meet international challenges
In 2021, Acacium Group was looking to expand its existing bespoke employee benefits and engagement platform internationally, allowing employees based at their offices in New York and Dublin to reward and recognise each other and their colleagues based in the UK as well as access instant employee discounts to support their financial wellbeing.
The pandemic has halted much travel, both internationally and domestically, and social distancing measures have made it difficult for colleagues to reward and recognise each other in person.
At a time where employees across the world have worked incredibly hard and have had to make significant changes in their lives to support their companies through the crisis, effective reward and recognition is hugely important.
Equally, the pandemic has hit many hard financially and the use of instant discounts on essential shopping, for example, is a huge help for staff.
In response to this, caboodle worked with Acacium Group to deliver a bespoke, international employee benefits and engagement platform.
The platform utilises technologies already developed by caboodle to support international expansion of the platform, including technology to support currency conversion.
The platform was delivered and live in record time and employees at Acacium Group can now reward and recognise colleagues across continents with both monetary and non-monetary rewards.
Employees in New York and Dublin can now also access a huge range of employee discounts, helping Acacium Group support the financial wellbeing of their staff internationally.

“We put people first, wherever they are”
Sara Andrews, Acacium Group’s Chief People Officer, says: “At Acacium Group, our purpose is to improve people’s lives, and this includes for the brilliant people who work for us. We care about giving flexibility and a choice of rewards and making it easy for our employees to recognise and celebrate the positive difference they make to people’s lives. We were looking for a benefits and engagement partner who could help us do this and share our values of putting people first and being driven by excellence. Caboodle’s platform and service offering help us deliver a consistently excellent reward and recognition service to our employees, wherever they are.”
“We’re delighted to be able to support companies internationally”
“We’re always talking with our clients about how we can support them and their organisational goals, particularly given the difficult climate many organisations find themselves in” said caboodle Founder and Managing Director Catherine Bennett.
“So, when Acacium Group came to us and said they required an international benefits and engagement solution we knew we could support them. We know how important reward and recognition and financial wellbeing are to organisations and their employees across the world right now and we’re delighted to be able to support this for companies internationally.”
Continuous innovation
The development and implementation of an international employee benefits and engagement platform marks another step in the continuous innovation of caboodle’s employee benefits and engagement solutions.
Through the pandemic, the caboodle team has expanded, and its market leading platform has been developed and innovated specifically to support the requirements of organisations internationally.
These innovations are ready to be rolled out to organisations of any size too, regardless of whether they currently operate domestically or internationally.
As caboodle clients expand overseas, their employee benefits and engagement platform will expand too to support the needs of their teams all over the world.
“We’re well aware of the challenges international organisations face right now”
Head of Sales, Client Success and Marketing Dan Harrison said “It’s been an incredibly challenging 12 months but ultimately a very rewarding one for us. We’ve worked incredibly hard and we have all the infrastructure and technology in place to support organisations and their employees across the world with employee benefits and employee engagement.
We’re well aware of the challenges international organisations face right now with employee benefits and engagement. We’re always looking to focus everything on the key HR challenges organisations face and the international expansion of our platform is a great example of that.”
A market leader in supporting companies of all shapes and sizes
The international expansion of caboodle’s innovative employee benefits and engagement solutions is not just a key part of the company’s eleven-year history, but a highlight of how the provider is a market leader when it comes to supporting companies of all shapes and sizes with their complex employee benefits and engagement requirements.
As more organisations expand their employee benefits and engagement platforms with caboodle, the company will develop and innovate its solutions for the benefit of its client-base of over 1800 companies not just based in the UK but all around the world.
