Super teams

People are at the heart of what makes Superdrug & Savers brands to be reckoned with. Their company ethos is built around accessibility and friendliness, and these values are embodied by their teams - from Head Office to storefront.

Super benefits

Superdrug & Savers place employee wellbeing at the heart of their businesses. That's why they rolled out a range of financial benefits to their colleagues via Stream, and received glowing feedback from their team - it's now their most popular benefit. Colleagues particularly love building towards their savings goals and accessing discounts on their shopping.

Impact of Stream

In a recent discussion with the teams behind Superdrug and Savers, employees shared positive experiences regarding Stream’s impact on their lives. Amy, the People Director for Superdrug and Savers, highlighted the relief it brings by saying:

“One lady was telling me her car exhaust fell off her car, kind of a week before payday. Had she not had Stream, she would have really struggled to make that repair and be able to continue coming to work.”

This story underscores the real-life benefits of having financial support readily available.

Richard, the Finance Director, explained their focus on financial wellbeing for employees:

“We started to look at what we can do to support our employees. We enhanced discounts, provided free period products, and introduced Stream for greater financial stability.”

Moreover, the financial education and tracking features provided by Stream have decreased payroll queries. Richard added:

“We’re seeing a reduction in calls into the center for employees trying to understand their pay. They’re really understanding the benefits of the savings pot.”

This approach aligns with Superdrug and Savers' commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive workplace, where employees feel empowered and valued.

This commitment has been recognised in several industry awards. In 2024 alone, Superdrug and Savers won the Large Employer of the Year category at the Employer's Excellence Awards, received a bronze award in Stonewall’s UK Workplace Equality Index and was shortlisted in the Best Benefits to Support DE&I at the Employee Benefits Awards.
