Reward Gateway is culture and client driven. We're obsessed with putting the "Human" in HR and are proud to have been 100% dedicated to HR for over a decade. Since 2007, we've been right by the side of the world's most innovative HR people, giving them beautiful products and tools they can use to attract, engage and retain their people.

The world's most successful companies treat their people differently. They generate stock market returns of twice their peers and they have half the employee turnover. 76% of CEOs recognize that employee engagement is vital to their success but only 24% say they have a highly engaged company. Bridging that engagement gap is what drives us.
