Reward & Recognition / Employee Benefits

Reward and recognition is the activity employers adopt to identify exceptional performance and encourage specific values or behaviours. Reward and recognition programmes can certainly help with better engagement and implementing positive change in the workplace if they are formulated, written, introduced and applied in the correct way.  Whether you’re looking to reward staff for their hard work, enhance your employee retention rates, or attract more of the right candidates, we can help.

We can work with you to devise such programmes recognising that candidates and employees do not only look at salary and financial reward; that they value factors such as flexible working hours, online learning opportunities or fun days out of the office.

Once we have established what is important to your business and employees and have devised the Reward and Recognition programme, we can help you make contact with our various trusted partners to assist with implementation of initiative such as shopping discounts, Employee Assistance Programmes, Medical Insurance, Mental Wellbeing Apps and many more.

Employee Health and Well being

Mental Wellbeing

Did you know that?

• 1 in 6 workers will experience depression, anxiety or problems relating to stress at any one time (1)
• There were 602,000 cases of work-related stress, depression or anxiety in 2018/19 in Great Britain (2)
• In 2018/19, stress, depression or anxiety were responsible for 44% of all cases of work-related ill health and 54% of all working days lost due to health issues in GB (2)

Theses stats are all reported pre-Covid and it goes without saying that these numbers will sadly and undoubtedly increase.

Within our team we have Mental Health First Aiders and access to many resources and initiatives that we are also available to support you with advice and input on employee mental wellbeing.
