Flexible benefits are becoming an ever popular way of engaging and rewarding your employees.
The advantages of flexible benefits is that it gives your employees a choice over what benefits they can have, which in turn helps the benefits become more valuable and meaningful to them. This will help you as an employer, as it allows you to deliver a more rewarding and valuable total reward structure.
These schemes are usually delivered via a flexible benefits software platform.
Why offer it?
A flexible benefits platform allows you as an employer to enhance the look of your existing package and it allows employees to choose which benefits they have. Salary sacrifice arrangements can be implemented on such a platform and provide a cost saving to the you the employer through reduced employer National Insurance.
This National Insurance saving can normally cover the cost of implementing the flexible benefits platform! Furthermore, the platform allows all salary sacrifice arrangements to be managed in one place on-line, freeing up company resources.
Over the past decade, flexible benefit providers specifically targeting SMEs have come into the market, which provide a simple and cost effective proposition. Often these software providers came from offering just salary sacrifice solutions – so can allow all your salary sacrifice schemes to be managed in one place! Having a self service option for your employees means freeing up more of your time and also makes the whole employee experience very bespoke and engaging. Other options on these platforms are often available, such as total reward statements and auto enrolment management solutions.
