Our Story

Offering traditional group benefits sucks. Why? They’re too expensive, too complex, and too one-size-fits-all. PeopleKeep is a new way to offer benefits called personalized benefits. Most people believe benefits are the services a company offers, such as a health insurance plan or 401(k). With personalized benefits, it’s the opposite. Companies give people tax-free money to spend on the consumer services they find most valuable. It’s as simple as wages. For small businesses that think offering traditional group benefits sucks, PeopleKeep is personalized benefits automation software that makes offering benefits simple, painless, and personal for everyone. Today more than 3,000 companies use PeopleKeep to hire and keep their people across the United States. PeopleKeep is based in Salt Lake City, Utah.
