The intersection of cutting-edge technology and employee engagement has given birth to a groundbreaking partnership between Pluxee (previously known as Sodexo Benefits & Rewards Services), and Yumi NFT Marketplace. The collaboration aims to revolutionize employee benefits programs by introducing Sodexo’s first-ever Non-Fungible Token (NFT) collection on the Internet Computer blockchain. This article explores how corporations can incorporate NFTs in their employee engagement schemes, how the Internet Computer blockchain (ICP) provides green solutions, and how Yumi provides a one-stop solution for seamless NFT integration.

Unleashing the Power of NFTs: The X-Collection

As part of its rebranding efforts, Sodexo BRS has transformed into Pluxee and launched “The X-Collection.” The launch of The X-Collection signifies Pluxee’s commitment to a digital-first approach, providing its employees with an immersive and engaging experience while embracing cutting-edge technology.

The X-Collection serves as more than just digital art; it opens up new opportunities for employee engagement and collaboration. Pluxee employees can transfer these digital collectibles amongst themselves, fostering a sense of community and shared experiences. Furthermore, a portion of the proceeds from The X-Collection will be donated to Stop Hunger, an organization aligned with Sodexo’s mission to make a positive impact on underprivileged communities.

The Role of Blockchain and Internet Computer

The X-Collection is created exclusively for Pluxee, and hosted on the Internet Computer blockchain — a fully decentralized, third-generation blockchain and crypto cloud infrastructure. Unlike traditional storage solutions, the Internet Computer blockchain enables fully on-chain hosting, providing enhanced security and transparency. By utilizing the Internet Computer blockchain, Pluxee becomes the first public company to leverage this energy-efficient blockchain technology, which is aligned with their sustainability goals.

Dominic Williams, Founder and Chief Scientist at the DFINITY Foundation, commented,

“The X-Collection marks a milestone not only for Sodexo but for the blockchain industry as traditional enterprises continue to embrace web3 technology. DFINITY is proud to support the Internet Computer and the visionaries that are leveraging this technology to advance the web3 space. We commend Sodexo for this forward thinking partnership and look forward to other companies following their example.”

Yumi, a leading digital marketplace for NFTs, plays a vital role in bringing Pluxee’s vision to life. With their newly established “NFT as a Service” (NFTaaS) model, Yumi empowers artists and facilitates meaningful connections between organizations and their employees. Yumi’s collaboration with Pluxee on the inaugural NFT collection launch showcases the power of NFTs and blockchain technology in deepening employee relationships and creating immersive experiences.

Yumi NFT Marketplace’s head of growth, Melissa Song, commented on the news,

“We are honored to collaborate with Sodexo on their inaugural NFT collection launch. Our mission at Yumi NFT Marketplace is to empower artists and provide a platform for meaningful connections. Through this partnership, we are excited to help Sodexo deepen their relationships with their employees using the power of NFTs and blockchain technology.”

Looking Ahead: Shaping the Future of Web3

The launch of The X-Collection represents a significant milestone for both Sodexo and the blockchain industry as a whole. As traditional enterprises embrace web3 technology, the DFINITY Foundation applauds Pluxee’s forward-thinking partnership. By supporting the Internet Computer and leveraging blockchain technology, Sodexo sets an example for other companies to follow in embracing the potential of a decentralized future.

Pluxee’s rebranding journey, accompanied by the launch of The X-Collection, demonstrates the power of NFTs and blockchain technology in revolutionizing employee benefits programs. By embracing a digitally native mindset, Pluxee empowers its employees with immersive experiences and fosters a sense of community and collaboration. As organizations like Sodexo pave the way, the future of work will continue to evolve, driven by the transformative potential of blockchain and NFTs.
