Finding good employees can be difficult and costly. Losing experienced staff can have a significant impact on client relationships, productivity and the overall financial success of any company. To address this, UK businesses have long offered employee benefit schemes in some form or another.

Today’s employees are more demanding and more likely to change jobs. This applies across all levels – top executives, management and staff. Salary is, of course, important but additional benefits are assuming an increasingly prominent role in the provision of competitive and attractive reward packages. Pensions, healthcare, holidays and protection benefits all feature high on the list of popular expectations. Also, flexibility and choice, life-stage relevance, tax efficiency, family-friendliness and a host of other factors all have to be considered if you are to compete effectively in the employment market.. So as the challenges and opportunities to satisfy and retain people increase, so do the costs.

The real challenge for employers is how to develop the best possible benefits programme within the constraints of the budget available and then to ensure its communicated effectively to the employees.
