Reward Gateway | Edenred joined the Workday partner programme with a Design-Approved integration connecting Workday Human Capital Management to its employee engagement platform. Announced on June 23, the partnership combines employee-data synchronisation with the ability to bring recognition moments into selected Workday HR workflows. [S01]
For an employee-rewards operator, the connection addresses administration around the reward programme. Reward Gateway's existing recognition offering includes instant eGift cards alongside experiences and company-branded rewards. The partnership links the underlying employee and recognition information; the announcement does not establish a new gift-card catalogue or redemption channel inside Workday. [S02]
Connecting recognition workflows and assessing customer evidence

The company says it has worked with more than 6,000 organisations and is part of Edenred Group. Workday provides the HCM environment with which that engagement platform connects. [S01]
Chief product officer Laszlo Kardos framed the partnership around customers' demand for connected engagement and HR systems. The business rationale is straightforward: a rewards provider becomes easier to operate alongside an employer's existing system when employee updates and recognition information require less manual transfer. That is an operational benefit the integration seeks to deliver, rather than evidence that employers will spend more on rewards. [S01]
The announcement describes lower administration and better data integrity as intended benefits. It supplies no measured reduction in processing time or errors, no customer adoption results and
