Every company’s winning asset is their people. Our role, through benefits, is to help demonstrate their value.
Quite often in business, your people can be your difference. Recruiting and retaining the right staff can be difficult in a strong employment market. Having a competitive benefits package, to attract staff in the short-term and motivate them in the long-term, is increasingly important.
We start the process by gaining an in-depth view of your company to understand your goals and your issues, whilst also looking at the benefits that you already have in place. It may be that there is no need to rip it all up and start again but with huge changes in the financial services industry in recent years, you’ll want to be sure that any existing products are appropriate.
We then start to put your plans in context by looking at what your competitors are offering. As we have said, if you work in an industry where staff turnover is high, a market leading benefits package can give you a real edge when it comes to attracting and keeping the right staff.
Unlike a typical adviser, we don’t just go and find the closest off the shelf products. Once we understand your exact requirements, we work with leading insurers, designing you a bespoke benefits package that integrates the different elements you require. Once we have secured the right package for you, we sit down to discuss the best way to communicate with your staff so that they truly value the benefits you have provided. After all, if they don’t understand and value the benefits, why bother?
But it doesn’t end there, in fact this is just the start of what we expect to be a long and fruitful partnership. Whilst we are working together on the communications plan, we also help you implement the new package, making sure that you are aware of key dates and sources of important information. Our experienced administration team and leading edge technology solutions are also available to support you with day-to-day administration issues.
“An integrated approach, using the Jelf Group to manage all our benefits under one roof, has given us an opportunity to reduce unnecessary areas of ‘doublecover’ whilst enabling us to reduce costs still further" Bex Sinclair Human Resources Adviser, Battens Solicitors
As part of a monitoring and review programme, we keep an eye on your legal and contractual obligations, making sure that you are kept up to date with rules changes and legislative amendments as they happen. Once a year, we hold a formal review to reevaluate your requirements, and subsequently, the suitability of your benefits package, to make sure you are managing costs and staying ahead of the game.
The end result, a benefits package that your employees value, your human resources team can administer and your business can afford.
