The ski benefits offered by a CSE
In a professional world where work-life balance is increasingly questioned and the right to leisure and disconnecting is becoming the norm, the issue of holidays is central.
As a result, many works councils (CSE), human resources managers and SME leaders are looking for original ways to make their employees' holidays even more special.
In particular, CSEs play a major role in this quest. They position themselves as key players capable of reducing inequalities within the company by offering ski stays at advantageous prices. Through special offers and strategic partnerships, CSEs make the magic of the mountains in winter and the joys of skiing accessible to all.
For several years, Passe Montagne has been partnering with companies by offering 2 simple ways to provide ski benefits to their employees. It is possible:
to obtain a free pro code to distribute to employees so they can benefit from the most advantageous membership to Passe Montagne services;
and/or
to benefit from a Passe Montagne wallet to allow employees to purchase ski passes at reduced prices at 150 partner resorts.
Offering ski to employees doesn't necessarily mean organising all-inclusive stays
The ski benefits offered by a CSE with Passe Montagne stand out for their flexibility and simplicity. The Passe Montagne offer for CSEs gives the opportunity to benefit from:
discounts of 10% to 50% on their ski pass throughout the season from a selection of 150 partner ski resorts;
online ski pass top-up from a phone. No more endless queues at the ticket office, you can ski as soon as you arrive;
a one-year membership at the pro code rate of €5 (or less when taking out a group membership). It is done online, in a few minutes, after receiving a CSE code.
Autonomy and freedom of choice are at the heart of skiers' expectations
In general, all-inclusive CSE ski stays offer less flexibility and personalisation, often imposing constraints on dates, destinations and activities.
With no fewer than 150 partner resorts available, offering ski to employees with Passe Montagne gives access to a wealth of options at reduced prices. This diversity allows employees to select the destination that best suits their preferences.
Furthermore, freedom extends beyond the destination: employees can choose the length of their stay. Gone are the days of being obliged to ski for the whole week. Today, multi-activity holidays are increasingly the norm, and Passe Montagne meets this trend by offering the choice between a day or a week of skiing, according to each person's preferences and constraints.
Keep it simple and minimise friction as much as possible
Signing up to Passe Montagne and topping up the mountain wallet are refreshingly straightforward.
By contrast, bookings for all-inclusive stays can sometimes be complex, involving multiple steps and administrative constraints.
In summary, choosing Passe Montagne to offer ski to employees represents a flexible and simple option, giving employees the freedom to personalise their ski experience, while eliminating the potential hassles associated with all-inclusive stays.
Why offering ski improves employee satisfaction and well-being?
Offering ski to employees through the Works Council (CSE) presents several significant advantages in terms of improving employee satisfaction and well-being:
Engaging in an activity at a reduced cost. Skiing is a winter activity enjoyed by many people, but it can be costly due to lift pass fees, equipment and accommodation. By offering ski benefits through the CSE, employees have the opportunity to engage in an activity they love without it weighing heavily on their budget. This contributes to employee satisfaction, as they will enjoy their favourite leisure activities without excessive financial worry.
Valuing employees through leisure offerings. When an employer offers employees benefits relating to leisure activities – such as discounted ski stays – it sends a strong message of recognition and appreciation. This recognition often translates into increased motivation at work and reduced stress.
Overall improvement in well-being. Employee well-being is an essential element in fostering a balanced work environment. Leisure activities, such as skiing, contribute to relaxation, reduced fatigue and the creation of moments of conviviality with friends or colleagues. A more satisfied team is generally more creative and less prone to turnover.
The Passe Montagne offer for CSEs: how does it work?
How to obtain the Passe Montagne pro code?
The Passe Montagne offer for Works Councils (CSE) and SMEs provides a simple and advantageous solution to offer employees substantial discounts on their ski passes.
Here's how it works:
Free for CSE, SMEs and associations. First of all, it should be noted that obtaining the professional code (pro code) is entirely free for companies. There is no initial cost associated with this process, making it an economical option for offering ski benefits to your employees.
Full membership to Passe Montagne services for employees. Once the CSE has obtained the pro code, each employee can benefit from full membership to Passe Montagne services. This membership gives access to a host of advantages, including discounts of 10% to 50% on ski passes in a selection of 150 partner ski resorts.
The process for obtaining the pro code is free and quick. It is done online via a form. Once received, it can be distributed to the company's employees. Once the codes have been distributed, employees can register online in a few minutes, for an exceptional rate of €5 for a year (i.e. 50% of the public price).
Passe Montagne wallet
The company can fill its employees' Passe Montagne wallet using the CSE subsidies provided for this purpose. Once the wallet has been credited, employees are in control of their ski budget. When they decide to buy their ski passes, they can directly choose their preferred payment method via their Passe Montagne account.
Thanks to the Passe Montagne wallet, employees manage their budget in a personalised way.
One of the major advantages of the Passe Montagne wallet is the ability to top up your ski pass directly from your phone. This option eliminates the need to queue at the ticket office, which often saves considerable time during ski days. Employees thus make the most of their time on the slopes, avoiding queues and administrative hassles.
