When MBG launched Access Perks, the goal was simple: give every employee, field crew and office staff alike, a benefit that actually gets used. Nearly 77% of the workforce is now registered and collective savings have cleared $7,800.
Background
MBG is a construction and design firm headquartered in Missouri. Its 69 employees span field and office roles, a mix that’s typical of growth-stage SMBs and notoriously hard to serve with a single benefits lineup. Like most small businesses, MBG runs lean. Budget for benefits is real but finite, and every line item has to earn its place against a simple test: are employees actually using it?
Objective
MBG wanted a benefit that worked for everyone, regardless of role, location, or paycheck, without heavy administrative overhead or a large per-employee cost. Something tangible that helped people stretch the money they were already spending. Access Perks was selected for its breadth of local and national merchant coverage and the simplicity of the Organization Funded Model: one flat subscription, no per-redemption fees, no enrollment friction.
Registration Grew Every Month – Past Industry Norm
MBG launched Access Perks with a standard rollout. Registration opened at 61.4% and grew month over month, reaching 76.8% by the end of the first 5 months.
A benefit that keeps delivering long after launch
MBG’s results confirm what Access Perks consistently delivers for small and mid-sized businesses: fast adoption, meaningful savings, and a benefit that actually gets used. Registration grew every month from launch and reached 76.8%, an engagement rate that outperforms most traditional voluntary benefits at a fraction of the cost. For companies like MBG, lean, growth-minded, competing for talent in a tight labor market, Access Perks delivers enterprise-level benefit value at an SMB-friendly price. The program meets employees where they live, eat, and play, regardless of role or region.
