Drive the attraction and improve retention of your staff

As the economic recovery continues, businesses are setting their sights on growth and expansion.

By the end of 2015 it is predicted that the UK will have created 70,000+ jobs per month and 50% of UK companies will have increased their workforce. The competitive job market means that companies must consider additional employee benefits to attract, motivate, and retain their staff; such as a salary sacrifice scheme.

• 65% of employees already say it is important that their employer offers a voluntary benefit scheme.
