Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What are employee benefits?
Employee benefits are non-salary perks provided by employers to support the health, wellbeing, and everyday lives of their workforce. These go beyond standard entitlements like pension contributions and paid leave, offering additional value through health support, emotional wellbeing services, and lifestyle perks.
I already offer a pension and paid leave, why should I offer more?
While core benefits like pension and annual leave are essential, they’re no longer enough to keep employees truly happy, engaged, and loyal. Today’s workforce expects more holistic support – from mental health resources and flexible healthcare access to everyday savings and wellbeing tools. These additional perks help reduce absenteeism, improve morale, and show employees they’re genuinely valued.
How do staff benefits improve employee morale?
Staff benefits help create a culture of care. When employees feel supported, whether through counselling, flexible access to healthcare, or lifestyle perks, it can lead to improved wellbeing and stronger engagement.
What if I want to offer more?
We’re so glad you asked! Our Health & wellbeing Plan offers much the same as our more comprehensive employee benefits package but also includes 100% cash back on everyday healthcare costs (up to policy level), Find out more about our Health & Wellbeing Plan here.
