Your benefits platform doesn’t do all this? 😕 Awkward… We’ll see you at Reward & Employee Benefits Association (REBA)'s Future Forum on Thursday. #REBAFutureForum

UK Autumn Budget announcement creating challenges for your business? Your benefits strategy will have to adjust — or risk cuts. Starting April 2025, employers will see National Insurance Contributions (NICs) raise to 15% and a reduced Secondary Threshold. So what’s the impact? Higher costs could mean tighter budgets and hiring challenges, especially for companies with tight margins. But here’s how you can offset the costs and make your benefits work harder for you and your employees.... 1️⃣ Make the most of salary sacrifice: Salary sacrifice helps both you and your employees lower NICs by sacrificing part of an employee’s salary for a variety of different benefits — like pensions, EVs, childcare, and more. The result? Companies with 250+ employees could save £80k+ per year! 2️⃣ Reassess your benefits strategy: Great benefits shouldn’t be a box-ticking exercise. Strong benefits = increased productivity, reduce staff turnover, and lower recruitment costs. Want to make your benefits budget work harder? Read more in our latest blog (linked below).

The timing of your engagement survey can impact the results you see. Running your survey at the right moment can give you a valuable snapshot of how your team truly feel about their benefits. So, when do you run yours? 🤔 Vote below and see what others are doing!
