The right employee benefits strategy can make your people feel more valued, engaged and may reduce sickness absence, helping to shape the culture of your organisation.
With so much at stake, it’s understandable that most employers have been adding layer upon layer to their benefits offering. Unfortunately, this hasn’t always achieved the desired outcomes. It’s now estimated that UK employers could be spending up to £15bn on benefits staff do not want, with just 23% of employees in the private sector saying their current benefits package meets all their needs.
Fortunately, the rise in digitisation and generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now taking benefits personalisation to a new level. Improved analytics tools also deliver real-time data insights to help you optimise your benefits spend and align your strategy with wider business goals.
By selecting the right benefits technology, you can maximise return on your investment while attracting and retaining the talent needed for the future. Get this wrong and you can create or increase cyber-security and administration risks.
Some factors to consider when choosing your benefits technology:
Does it personalise employee content to boost engagement?
Can it deliver real-time data insights to reduce costs?
Which self-service elements does the platform provide you with, to avoid hidden costs along the way?
Will it genuinely free up your time when it comes to administration?
What’s ‘under the hood’ – is it reliable to truly automate your processes and eliminate cyber risk?
