Recent years have seen significant changes in the workplace resulting in opportunities and challenges for you, your employees and your business as a whole.

The needs and aspirations of your employees are no longer focused on the month end, they are firmly fixed on their overall, long-term quality of life. And as their demands have changed, so your benefits and engagement strategy needs to keep up.
Having the right employee benefits strategy in place will give your business the advantage to stay competitive, succeed and grow.

A matter of balance
A matter of balance
The key to the success of any employee benefits programme is to match the demands of your employees with the ambitions and constraints of your business. Any incentive that adds value to the payslip must also keep a firm eye on your bottom line. Every penny you spend must deliver value and bring about a return.
Getting the balance right takes considerable time and experience. And we understand that managing an employee benefits programme is not the only job you have to do.
That’s why we’ll help you to create a modern, relevant programme that will help you win the war to recruit and retain the best people and
reduce your business risks, including absenteeism, high staff turnover and lost business knowledge. Whilst at the same time taking pressure off you and giving you the capacity to fulfil all the other essential aspects of your role.

Although size is one of our strengths, it’s never at the expense of providing you with a personal, attentive service. Our experts will work in partnership with you, supported by a team of specialists covering areas such as research, tax, investment, communications and online solutions.
We believe the only worthwhile advice is independent advice. So whilst other advisers may be restricted to certain products and services, we have no ties. Instead you, your business and your people benefit from a tailor- made solution drawn from the best providers and the best products the whole market can offer you.
Seeing things differently is much easier when you can see further too.

The vision to see what’s right for both sides
One of the greatest advantages we offer you is that we’re experienced in working with both businesses and individuals, securing long-term financial futures and peace of mind. So we can share valuable insights and perspectives and see solutions through two sets of eyes, balancing the needs of both.
It’s only by gaining a comprehensive understanding of both your business and your employees that we can be certain to recommend a benefits programme that’s right for everyone. Which means your employees are engaged, your business achieves value and you don’t waste valuable time.
We can advise on a full range of employee benefits from pensions and key person insurance to high street discounts and gym membership. But we’ll never ‘sell’ you individual products. Our approach is holistic and service driven. We’ll study every aspect of your business, guided by both our years of experience and our extensive knowledge of the modern workplace.

We never arrive at your desk with an engineered or off-the-peg solution. Our independence and holistic approach gives us the flexibility to create a benefits strategy from scratch so that it’s 100% tailored to your business.
However, because it’s not uncommon for us to find you already have a variety of benefits and providers in place we’ll also help you rationalise your existing offering and bring old and new benefits together.

Analysis
Your adviser will work alongside you to understand your whole business, its needs and priorities and assess the strengths and weaknesses of any current benefits strategy. You can also share any specific challenges you face, such as staff retention. Time invested now means you can be certain you’ll get the right solution, right first time.

Implementation
When we consider the cost of any element of a scheme we’ll also share with you the potential costs of not having it. Only when you are completely satisfied with our recommendations, will we begin putting your scheme in place. We’ll implement and fully project manage our recommended solution to ensure that it integrates seamlessly into your business and doesn’t create any additional workload for you or your colleagues.

Administration
Running an employee benefits programme can be demanding and time consuming and we know that you have a thousand more things on your desk. We can handle virtually all aspects of your programme’s administration internally with your employees and externally with your providers, dealing with all queries, contributions, claims management issues and renewals. Freeing you to focus on the other aspects of your job.

Recommendation
Our recommendations are based on a comprehensive analysis of your business and will take into account the wide cross section of people that make up your workforce. We’ll make sure that every penny spent will deliver a return on your investment. Wherever possible we’ll even help you reduce your expenditure, making sure you don’t waste money on things you don’t need and helping you – and your employees – save tax on the benefits that you do.

Communication
Research by Cass Business School estimates that failing to tell staff about the benefits on offer is costing UK companies £2. 7bn every year in staff turnover and sickness absence. That’s why through timely and relevant communication, we’ll ensure that your employees are constantly aware of and fully understand the benefits you provide them with. This will ensure that your investment
is rewarded with engagement and participation.

Supporting your employees if they fall ill, or even worse, is seen as an invaluable employee benefit, it gives them the peace of mind of knowing both they and their family are helped financially, a bit like a financial safety net. We will work with you to review any cover you may have in place, and recommend a solution across the many products that are out there, to make sure your people have the right level of cover, and the right level of reassurance.
Healthcare

Sick bills cost UK businesses £29bn every year* so it’s in your best interests to take good care of the physical
and psychological wellbeing of your employees. We can recommend a range of benefits that will help prevent absenteeism or, in the case of illness, enable a speedier recovery and return to work to keep your business running smoothly and efficiently.

A well-considered benefits package can have the perceived value of 20–40% of salary* – without anywhere near that cost to you.
We can recommend, implement and review an extensive range of employee benefits that will enhance your business reputation and improve your employees’ long-term quality of life.
We’re innovative and resourceful on your behalf, looking beyond just the traditional and predictable solutions to the progressive and sometimes surprising; from defined contribution pension schemes to dental care, car parking to childcare.
We give each product careful consideration and
we’ll only consider employee benefits that match your business goals.
