What are the main types of employee benefits?
​
While the range and variety of different benefits offered by UK companies is broad, there are a number of benefits that are commonly provided by employers.
​
These include workplace pension and savings schemes, group insurance policies such as life assurance and private medical insurance, and financial benefits such as bonus or profit share schemes.
Why do employee benefits matter?
A well-considered employee benefits package can be an extremely important tool in recruiting and retaining the best talent for your your business.
​
At small and medium-sized companies it's not always affordable to pay a market-leading salary to your current or future team.
​
For some employees, take-home pay is paramount. But for many, salary is just one of the factors considered.
​
Workplace culture, job satisfaction, and being part of a dynamic and growing business are hugely important factors for many individuals, and a well-balanced employee benefit package can be a vital component in supporting these factors.​

How do I choose which benefits to include?
​
By creating a well-considered employee benefits package, you can have a profound impact on your employees' long-term wealth, health, wellbeing, and job satisfaction.
​
It's best to take a strategic approach by engaging with your team to find out which benefits they will value the most, before deciding on which benefits you are going to introduce.
​
Adopting a piecemeal or ad hoc approach can leave employees confused about what benefits are in place, and risks introducing benefits that have little to no value to your team.

Life Assurance plans typically have no cash in value at any time and cover will cease at the end of term. If premiums stop, then cover will lapse. You should review the level of cover required on a regular basis to ensure that it keeps in line with your earnings, otherwise, cover may be less than you need. If any relevant information provided, when applying, is not disclosed accurately and honestly, this could result in any cover offered becoming invalid and / or may result in the non-payment of any future claims.
