Benefits Basics

 

Get your benefits right from the start

 

Thinking about introducing employee benefits but not sure where to start?

 

Looking at benefits platforms, providers or packages but don't know what's actually right for your team?

 

Or have a few basics in place and want to build something more meaningful?

 

Let's get it right from the start

 

Benefits Basics helps growing organisations design, build and launch a benefits package that's right for their people, business and values

 

What previous clients say:

"Emma was super helpful.

If you're thinking about setting up a benefits package for your company but don't know where to start I would highly recommend engaging Emma!"

 

 

Before you spend money or sign up to long-term contracts, we'll work out what your benefits & leave offering should actually look like – using market and competitor benchmarking, your team, priorities, culture and budget to build a package that's specific to you.

 

Then I help you make it happen – from sourcing providers and reviewing costs to getting the benefits set up, launched and communicated to your employees.

 

It's not about spending more, it’s more about making informed decisions about where to invest, avoiding expensive wrong turns and creating something your people will genuinely value and use.

 

What you'll get:

✔️ Benefits Discovery – a kick-off session to understand your team, culture & values, business plans, recruitment challenges, employee feedback, existing benefits and budget

✔️ Market & Competitor Benchmarking – across Benefits & Leaves, so you understand what the wider market is doing, how relevant competitors compare and what good looks like

✔️ Your Benefits Strategy – bespoke recommendations on what I'd introduce, prioritise or avoid based on your people, business, values and budget

✔️ Benefits Budget – a clear view of indicative costs and different options, helping you understand where your money could have the biggest impact before committing to spend

✔️ Provider Sourcing & Recommendations – independent guidance on the most appropriate providers and routes to market, including broker introductions where needed

✔️ Quote & Terms Review – support reviewing provider options, costs and terms and challenging or negotiating where appropriate

✔️ Clear Recommendations & Roadmap – bringing everything together so you know what I'd recommend, why, what it will cost and how to take it forward

✔️ Set-up & Implementation Support – working with you and your chosen providers to get the agreed benefits set up and ready to launch

✔️ Launch Communications – including an employee Benefits Overview, Benefits Guide and launch communications so your team understands what they have and how to use it

✔️ 30 & 90-day Check-ins – to see how the launch has landed, answer questions and identify anything that needs tweaking

 

The Outcome:

• A benefits package that reflects your culture, supports wellbeing and inclusion, and evolves as your business grows
• Confidence that you’re offering the right things from the start – with clarity and control over your costs

• A solid scalable foundation to build from

 

Who it's for:

• Growing organisations introducing employee benefits for the first time
• Companies with a few basic benefits in place that want to build a more complete, strategic offering
• Organisations considering investing in a benefits platform or provider that want independent advice before signing a contract
• Values-led SMEs that want their benefits to reflect their culture and people, rather than simply copying what everyone else offers
• Businesses competing for talent that need to understand how their Benefits & Leave offering compares with the marke
• Organisations without an in-house benefits specialist who want experienced support from initial strategy through to launch

👋 Hi! I’m Emma - I’ve spent the last 20+ years working with companies from a 2 person start up to large global organisations like Apple to help them create high impact, cost effective benefits.

 

Whether you’ve got nothing in place and are looking to set something up from scratch or already have something that’s not quite landing as well as it should I can help you create a benefits package that aligns with your values, engages employees and supports wellbeing & diversity all without breaking the bank.

 

My approach is not about spending more it’s about spending smarter and I’m often able to find significant cost savings and efficiencies as part of the work I do – all while increasing the benefits that are available to employees and increasing engagement.
