• Whether there is a business case
• Operational issues will need to be overcome
• Which benefits to add/flex and assist with the broking/sourcing of appropriate suppliers

Companies without a dedicated system have already recognised the HR functions of the benefit database are a powerful business management tool in their own right. After all the data required to manage benefits is very similar to the data required to manage your employee records

Once implemented, you will have all your employee data in one place and on one database, allowing you to run powerful management information (MI) reports on all aspects of your employees’ details. You can also choose the employee self-service function so your employees can edit and update their own personal information such as change of address or adding details about dependants.

Understanding leads to appreciation, but few people fully understand the benefits provided, how they work and perhaps most importantly how much they cost.  For benefit communication to be successful, the information needs to be relevant, easily understandable, up to date and accurate.

Effective use of Technology enables you to communicate with your employees in a cost effective and manageable way, whilst ensuring the information is always up to date.

Central to many benefits communication strategies, is a total reward statement, which allows each employee to fully understand the benefits provided and the value of their benefit package. Key supporting information can be linked to this statement including suppliers’ contact details, booklets, policy condition and downloadable forms.

Technology solutions are also an ideal way to let your employees know about your own company’s policies and procedures. Whether it is your flexible benefits scheme, how to book holidays,  your policy on different types of leave, or on more complex subjects such as pensions, our solutions supports all of this and more.

Like most things in life, at first this may seem a little daunting, but in reality the technology is very intuitive enabling both HR and employees to get up to speed very quickly.

Pick up virtually any newspaper any day of the week and you will more than likely see a story about the ongoing ‘pensions crisis’ or the ‘personal debt crisis’. Regardless of some of the sensational headlines, there is no doubt that more and more people find it hard to budget and manage their day-to-day finances, let alone save for the future.

We have developed a range of financial education programmes designed to help employees understand how to manage their financial affairs effectively, using a combination of online and offline media.

Educating employees on how their benefits fit with their wider financial needs and aspirations can be a powerful differentiator. Increasingly, employees are being asked to make choices and to take ownership of their financial wellbeing – whether it is deciding how much to save for retirement, choosing where to invest their pension contributions or selecting flexible benefit options. Our aim is to help employees to help themselves, by equipping them with the knowledge to make fully informed decisions.

Whilst education can help, there are times when the decisions and choices are just too complicated, or too important, to make without professional advice.

As an FSA regulated firm, our independent financial advisers are able to provide advice on all financial matters to your employees. Each client has a dedicated adviser who is trained to have an in depth knowledge of your pension and benefit arrangements, to enable them to provide truly holistic advice.
 
Facilitating this support through a trusted source, which understands your arrangements and culture, adds significant value to your employment proposition.

When it comes to our systems, we’re always looking to lead the way with innovative research, design and development processes. To help us do this we work with other businesses who are leaders in their markets.
