Employee Benefits
Securing and retaining the best employees can be a challenge even for the most forward-thinking employer. Having the right Benefits "package" alongside a competitive remuneration structure can make all the difference to a successful employment strategy.
Companies who recognise the importance of recruiting top quality staff will generally consider a range of Employee Benefits for them. For many years Argent has worked closely with employers to design and implement such schemes - and if we have a skill - it is to find the balance between employees' expectations and employers' budgets. Ultimately employees should appreciate the benefits offered and employers must be satisfied with the investment they have made.
We can help you create a sector-leading Employee Benefits "package" that should attract the pick of the workforce, including:
• Pensions - arguably the most valuable of benefits as employees see a tangible financial commitment from you. Traditionally this is one of the most sought after and appreciated benefits.
• Death In Service Life Assurance - one of the least expensive yet most effective of benefits as employees appreciate that their families will be looked after should they die.
• Income Protection - the peace of mind offered by this benefit means that recovery from illness is frequently quicker than anticipated - again with commensurate advantage to your business.
• Medical Expenses - schemes can cover employees and even their families. Convenient timescales for treatment ensure minimum disruption to your business. Argent through its connections with specialist intermediaries in this area will help design a bespoke scheme for you.
Some employers find that - either - existing benefits are undervalued by staff, or, there is a low participation rate. Generally this is the result of poor communication and we are often asked to review benefits to see how they can be improved as well as how they can best be presented and promoted to staff.
We understand your concern when there is some indifference to the commitment you have made. Much has been said about the provision of Pensions and from 2012 all employers will have to offer membership of a Pension Scheme to their staff. Changing legislation always carries with it the need to communicate to employers and staff so they know how they will be affected. This coupled with some disillusion with Insurance Companies has opened the door for a new breed of provider. With all this change it is essential that good advice and guidance is given, so our 30 plus years of experience can be a valuable service for you.
