About
In today’s volatile economic climate, organisations need effective strategies for responding to market influences that are out of their control, for example national insurance increases.

How can employers stay on in tune with what employees want? And how can business leaders meet employee demand, without breaking the bank?

Research suggests that offering flexible benefits are a big part of the solution to supplying staff with more of what they want, while at the same time lessening the financial impact on an organisation’s bottom line. Just over 65% of businesses are offering flexible benefits, according to the latest UK Workforce Trends Report published by the global insurance and consulting firm, Gallagher.

So, how can HR use flexible benefits to their organisation’s advantage? And what other options are there for offering more employee benefits, for less?

For answers, and practical advice, join us for our latest HR magazine Lunchtime Debate, brought to you in partnership with Gallagher.

Our panel of HR professionals will discuss:
• How organisations can respond to volatile market influences;
• The most effective ways of offering better benefits, for less;
• How to effectively benchmark your benefits offering against current industry standards; and more.
