Employee Benefits

Now, more than ever, employers are under pressure to provide their staff with more than just a salary; and people certainly consider the total remuneration package when selecting a future job or career. As an employer, the right benefits mix ensures that you remain competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating your employees.

No matter what industry you work in, the number of staff you have or the benefits you currently offer, we can work with you to help you become; and remain, an employer of choice.

Employee Benefits Review

The first step with any client is to undertake a thorough review of their current arrangements. We commonly find that employers have put together their overall package of benefits piecemeal, over a number of years. This can lead to inefficiencies, unnecessary cost and the provision of inappropriate or outdated benefits to their current workforce.

It is vital to undertake a regular benefits review, giving proper consideration to your required objectives.

Any benefit review should always take into account:

– clear business objectives
– regulatory requirements
– employee feedback and the need to attract and retain talent
– the suitability and relevance of different benefits to your staff
– provider costs & service levels
– employer’s cost considerations

Benefit Design

Once we fully understand your requirements, we are then able to design a bespoke package, tailored to the different elements and specific needs of your workforce.

We always look to build long-term client relationships, providing ongoing governance services, in order to maintain the effectiveness of your benefit package and ensuring that you continue to receive the best value for money.

This approach also means that your benefits continue to have a positive impact on your staff, increasing productivity and overall workforce wellbeing.

Group Pensions

Auto-enrolment has brought a raft of new legislation and employers are now only too aware of the complications that can arise.

With our experience & expertise in both DC and DB arrangements, we can provide you with comprensive support to ensure that your pension runs smoothly, whatever type of scheme you operate.

Whether you need to audit your existing scheme, establish a new one, streamline your administration, review the investments or improve your member communication, we can guide you through every step of the way.

We can show you how to maximise financial efficiency, ensuring that your scheme is as cost-effective as it can be.

We’ll also help your staff to better understand their savings and retirement options, encouraging them to interact and improve their own retirement journey.

Healthcare and Protection

A well thought-out package of healthcare and protection benefits is always well-received and visibly demonstrates your position as a caring employer.

We provide a comprehensive service to ensure that you, your business and your staff have the right cover in place, at the right time, at an affordable cost.

Typical protection benefits include:

– group life assurance
– critical illness cover
– income protection
– private medical insurance
– health cash plans
– employee wellbeing programmes

We can work with you to plan, implement and maintain a programme of health & risk benefits, appropriate to your business and your staff. If you already have benefits in place, we can benchmark these to ensure that they are still appropriate and competitive.

Flex Benefits & Total Reward

A flexible benefit programme is driven by the need for choice – a single person in their early 20s has very different needs to a 35-year old with young children, or someone approaching retirement.

Flex benefits give people the ability to tailor their overall benefit package, to fit in with their changing lifestyle. By exchanging salary for alternative benefits, such as increased healthcare provision, life assurance or bigger pension contributions; people can make sure that they have exactly the right mix for them. Some choices can also create additional tax and NI savings, both for them and for the employer.

A flex benefit programme also allows employers to control the cost of their benefit programme, by fixing the amount that people may spend each year. Any additional amounts are then met by them personally, by way of a reduction in salary.

Alongside a flex benefit scheme, Total Reward statements provide people with a full breakdown of their salary and additional benefits, clearly demonstrating the true value of their overall remuneration package.

Lifestyle and Discounts

Everyone likes to feel they’re getting a good deal, whether they’re doing their everyday shopping, making a special one-off purchase, planning a holiday or even renewing their car insurance.

A low-cost way to provide extra value to your benefits programme, our employee lifestyle & discount packages include a great range of offers & discounts to suit a wide range of needs – so there’s really something for everyone.

We’re always adding to our range of discount offerings, which include:

– a market-leading, customised discount shopping site
– discounted gym memberships, clothing & equipment
– cheaper cinema tickets
– money saving home technology purchase schemes
– cycle to work schemes
– cashback cards
– holiday discounts

Many of these can be supplied alongside your pension scheme and other benefit arrangements, at little or no additional cost.

Communication & Engagement

It is vital that people have ongoing support and easy access to information on their various benefits. This leads to improved awareness, better understanding and ultimately, to increased take-up.

To help achieve this, Corpad have their own employee benefit “hub” – a secure online platform, customised and branded for each employer.

In addition to showcasing your employer-provided benefits, our benefit hub also includes a range of voluntary benefits, that provide people with valuable savings on their everyday spending and special purchases.
