In 2016, HHS began using Engine for their business lodging needs, which solved quite a few issues for the team. First, it allowed them to book lodging more quickly, including paying up-front for hotels and incidentals using Engine’s Direct Bill and Incidentals Coverage program. “The rates are great, and I can book 3 to 4 hotels on Engine in the time it took me to book one on the previous platform. It is a huge time savings for us,” said Mandy.
Additionally, the HHS team finds that the personal support and responsiveness they receive from their Engine Account Manager provides comfort and convenience as well.
If the over $100K in annual saivngs on lodging and estimated time savings of up to 40 hours per week weren’t enough, Engine has also helped bring value to a program HHS founded in 2014, the CareFUND. The CareFUND seeks to support team members who have experienced financial hardship due to natural disasters, health issues, or other unexpected circumstances.
Rachel and Mandy had the unique idea to bolster the fund with their earned Engine Rewards points to help house team members experiencing financial hardship. “We are able to use those points to provide hotel room stays for our team members utilizing the CareFUND,” said Mandy. “Because of this, we’ve been able to expand the CareFUND to help even more people in our organization. That feels really good.”
So far, HHS has allocated more than $36K worth of Engine Rewards points for the CareFUND.
