Benefit ‘Perks’ for GSS Staff

GSS has an unusually strong benefits plan…

for a nonprofit and we fully use the standard benefits like dental, medical, and drugs. But don’t overlook the new benefits that, with a little exploration, can save you money and time. Perkopolis is one of those newer benefits.

We’re all busy but check out the Perkopolis emails that come around highlighting the latest special offers. It’s getting cold so that means Christmas shopping is coming up. Or, on a less pleasant note, the fridge may be making those funny noises again. Offers like the recent 20% off Samsung monitors, TVs and appliances could help make those Christmas gifts or new appliances happen with less pressure on your budget.

More than 10 categories in the ‘Shop’ section may offer unexpected ideas and savings for those Christmas lists. Do a little online window shopping to see what subcategories like ‘Fashion’ and ‘Home’ to ‘Electronics’, and ‘Wellness’ include. By the way, ‘Fashion’ category alone has 8 subcategories including Men, Women, and Children and specific areas like ‘Footwear’. (Speaking of footwear and cold weather, there’s a special discount offer on classic lined Clogs).

Or the cold may make you think of that laid back vacation somewhere warm. The ‘What’s New’ area on the Perkopolis site lists multiple airlines that offer ‘’exclusive savings’. Explore those and the other travel-related offers on everything from hotels and tours, to travel insurance and airport lounges. Then depending on the destination, check out  discounts on hotels, tours, and activities. Plus, Perkopolis offers a concierge service that will help pull bookings together. If that all sounds too frivolous, then get really practical and save up to 25% on next year’s TurboTax package.

If you haven’t registered yet, just go to Perkopolis.com and enter your GSS email. Then watch for an email with a link to complete your registration. If you don’t have a GSS email, contact HR for access verification.
