In structuring the program around these important measures, organisations have a very clear and measurable link between program investment and financial returns. The addition of member benefits also furthers the program by offering members a range of useful everyday buying discounts that can be accessed and used by all members at any time, irrespective of their points balance.

The 'Cloud 9 Rewards' program was developed over an 18 month period of software development and negotiation with reward and discount partners, and uses the same extranet platform as Quinntessential's highly successful PeoplePulse online survey software (www.peoplepulse.com.au). PeoplePulse is now used by over 80 prominent Australian and New Zealand based organisations.
