The Employee Benefit Gap

Are your benefits really adding value? It turns out that what most people need and what their company provides are often wildly different. 

Benefits shouldn’t just be ‘perks’ like discounted cinema tickets; they should provide real value to your teams, focusing on what makes them feel - and perform - at their best. And those are the benefits people choose, given the opportunity to manage their own wellbeing.

We analysed the wellbeing choices of 30,000 UK workers, and compared it to the benefits being provided by UK businesses* and the contrast is stark. 

‍

The biggest gaps might not be what you expect:

• Access to nutrition support leads the way in popularity - despite being offered by less that 1% of businesses
• Eyecare is one of the most common benefits offered, but only 2% of people are using these allowances
• Learning and Development opportunities are offered by 20% of businesses, but taken up by only 2% of workers
