Towergate Employee Benefits believes that the announcement by the UK government on the welfare benefits system should spark two questions for every business.
- How much money do I spend on my employees?
- How does it affect my trading performance?
David Williams is the head of group risks at Towergate Employee Benefits. He says that “if a business has active, healthy employees, they will have healthy trading results.” Healthy, active employees are not a result of chance. It occurs when you focus on your employees and treat them as valuable assets. This is achieved by giving employees the best possible opportunities to remain healthy and contribute to the business. Businesses should consider these two questions carefully as the government’s message already suggests that they will expect private businesses to support them in their drive to “get Britain Working”.
Towergate Employee Benefits believes this will likely spark two other areas of consideration:
- How can I deliver the best benefits at the lowest cost?
- How can I boost the performance of my company?
There has never been a more critical time for HR and business to recognize the importance of private sector solutions when it comes to reducing absenteeism and keeping employees at work.
Williams continues “The government’s overhaul of welfare system does not signify the end benefits. It signifies the continued evolution of employee benefits that work alongside state benefits. Now is the time for employers to ensure their benefits fit for purpose.”
