Attract, retain, and motivate with employee benefits packages tailor-made for SMEs
Whether you’re looking to reward staff for their hard work or enhance your employee retention strategy, we can help.
We know that candidates no longer look at salary alone when looking for a job. They now consider many other factors, such as the total remuneration and employee benefits packages, company culture, option of working from home or flexible working and so on.
Our employee benefits packages can motivate staff to excel and make your company an attractive place to work.
Not only will you want to attract quality employees, but you’ll want to retain them too. It can be costly to train employees, only to have them leave you for a competitor, who they feel offers them more.
The HR Dept Employee benefits scheme specialises in employee benefits packages fit for SMEs. Our benefit packages can help you make your business an attractive place to work for employees of all ages, as well as demonstrate a positive and caring company culture.

Why should I offer employee benefits?
Employee benefits help businesses attract, retain and motivate employees. As well as this, they have a huge influence on an employee’s health and wellbeing.
The health cash plan encourages employees to look after their everyday health through optical, dental and physiotherapy treatment. Private medical insurance, on the other hand, enables employees to be treated as quickly as possible if they get ill, which can speed up recovery and therefore, help reduce sickness absence rates.
Employee benefits can also boost an employee’s motivation. Social benefits such as holidays, cinema tickets and those related to exercise like gym memberships and cycle-to-work schemes can help motivate an employee, boosting productivity and performance.
Offering popular, well-thought-out benefits helps attract and retain employees, too. While you need to attract top talent to grow your business, it’s just as important to keep hold of them. Benefits packages are a great way to achieve this and can give you a competitive edge over others in your industry.

There are a whole host of excellent employee benefits that aren’t as well known as the core benefits. They include:
- Free or subsidised travel: Not everyone drives and public transport can be costly. Offering to pay for your employee’s travel or contributing towards the cost helps them financially. It could also be the difference between an employee choosing to work for you or not.
- Car allowance: If your employees are required to travel, payments towards fuel can be attractive. HMRC allow 45p per mile travelled on company business but that is reduced with a car allowance to 18p.
- Free parking: Is an attractive benefit for those driving to work.
