Edenred Estudante: Promote employee training with this benefit

14 de August, 2024

According to data from the Salesforce 2022 Global Digital Skills Index, 94% of workers value the training provided by companies and would stay longer at those companies if they invested in their professional development.

In fact, without growth opportunities in their companies, workers tend to be more dissatisfied and, consequently, more inclined to look for other opportunities and leave.

Why is employee training important?

Investing in continuous employee training brings numerous benefits:

  • Improves employee involvement, motivation and satisfaction;
  • Increases loyalty and retention;
  • It attracts the best talent;
  • Boosts productivity and creativity;
  • It adds value to the business itself and has an impact on revenue and profitability.

For all these reasons, the professional development of employees must be seen by company managers as a core part of the organizational culture.

Ensuring that professionals keep up to date – and improve their skills in line with the latest trends, innovations and best practices in their sector – is crucial if they are to progress in their careers.

And although this path must be taken by the workers themselves, employers have a social responsibility to encourage lifelong learning, growth and quality of life from a broader point of view.

This can be done by granting social benefits to support vocational training, such as Edenred Estudante.

What is Edenred Estudante?

Edenred Estudante is a social benefit that companies can give to their employees to support them in their education and professional training expenses. The aim is to increase the income available for spending on schools, colleges, universities and similar establishments.

Because it is a social benefit and not a means of payment, Edenred Estudante has a different tax framework to cash payments, which results in tax savings for the company and increased purchasing power for employees.

How does Edenred Estudante work?

This social voucher is available in wallet format. The company loads the Edenred Estudante with the stipulated amount and the employee, after adding it to their wallet in the MyEdenred App, can now make 100% digital and secure payments.

In addition to being used for the employee’s own professional training – to pay for undergraduate, postgraduate, master’s degrees, etc. – it can also be used to pay for the education of the employee’s children or descendants from the age of 7.

What are the advantages of giving Edenred Estudante to employees?

The granting of extra-salary benefits results in numerous advantages for organizations and employees. In particular, by granting a benefit such as Edenred Estudante, which helps to promote the continuous training of professionals, you are ensuring that:

  • The company improves its value proposition for employees through a benefit that responds to their interests, needs and professional development objectives;
  • The company’s ability to attract new talent and retain its human capital is increased;
  • Employees feel not only more satisfied, appreciated and valued, but also more fulfilled;
  • The company guarantees its tax efficiency and employees see their disposable income rise, thanks to the total exemption from TSU inherent in the award of this social voucher;
  • Your company’s ESG performance is optimized to the extent that you are responding to UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) such as access to quality education or the reduction of inequalities (in this case, in access to education, training and professional integration).
