Benefits Reviews
You've got benefits.
But are they actually working?
A complete, independent review – so you know exactly what you have, what it's costing you, and what to do next.
Many HR leads inherit a benefits package they didn't build.
Or other teams have added things over time without stepping back to look at the whole picture.
The result? Benefits that feel more chaotic than strategic, lack of visibility, duplicate cover, unused benefits, renewal premiums creeping up, and employees who don't know what they have.
How the review works
Light-touch on your side – this review is built on my A, B, C framework developed over 20+ years to give you maximum insight with minimum disruption and delivered within two weeks.
Audit – Review what you already have in place – covering all benefits, leaves, ways of working and communications to get a clear view on your existing package, costs, values, priorities and how you talk about them
Benchmarking – How you compare to statutory requirements, competitors and general market practice
Clarity – A detailed analysis showing what you have, what you should have and priorities. A live document that captures all your benefits, costs and renewal dates and quick wins to help you stay in control of them going forwards.
What’s Included?
✔️ 1-hour discovery call – to understand current set up, priorities and pain points
✔️ Full Benefits & Leaves visibility audit – a full view of all your current benefits and leaves – including hidden freebies
✔️ Compliance check — are you covered where you need to be?
✔️ Cost-efficiency review – overlaps, underused benefits, missed value and savings opportunities
✔️ Market benchmarking – how you compare to your peers
✔️ Employee engagement analysis – what’s used, what's valued and where there are gaps
✔️ Communications review – how to improve awareness and uptake of benefits
✔️ Detailed Action Plan - quick wins, plus longer-term changes, tailored recommendations and a clear roadmap
✔️ 1-hour post-review strategy session – walkthrough of findings, recommendations, & next steps
✔️ A live document to keep track of all benefits, costs and renewal dates going forward
Typical outcomes (based on past reviews)
✔️ ~10% cost savings without cutting cover – money that can be reallocated to new initiatives
✔️ 20-40% increase in benefits engagement – employees who know what they have, value them differently
✔️ More benefits, better used – often including ones you didn't know you had at no extra cost
Why work with me
I'm independent – which means I'm not trying to sell you products you don't need. My only job is to give you a clear, honest picture of what's right for your business.
I've spent 20+ years working with organisations from two-person startups to global companies including Apple – so I understand the nuances across very different businesses and budgets.
My approach isn't about spending more. It's about taking what you already spend and making it go further.
What clients say:
“Emma's experience was crucial in helping to secure cost savings as part of the negotiations with our benefit providers. Also in supporting our push towards a higher level of employee engagement i.e. we ended up achieving an 84% engagement rate from our employees, across this benefit window.”
