Computers In Personnel implement flexible benefits with thomsons online benefits
Computers In Personnel (CIP), the leading HR software solutions provider has implemented flexible benefits for its employees in conjunction with thomsons online benefits.
CIP employs HR experts to offer a range of software solutions to address HR issues and are used to dealing with the UK's most forward looking HR departments.
Sean Worthington, Head of Delivery at CIP explains: “We decided to implement flexible benefits for two reasons. Firstly we noticed that flexible benefits have become best practice for employers of choice, and we wanted to ensure that our already generous benefits package remained leading edge. Secondly, the way our benefits were set up didn't allow the organisational, communication and cost efficiencies that we felt were necessary.”
CIP already offered a comprehensive employee benefits package including:
- Pension
- Private medical care
- Life assurance
- Critical illness cover
- A social club
- Eye care
In addition to the above, employees now have the ability to:
- Buy and sell holiday entitlement;
- View total reward statements enabling them to view the total value of their package and prompting them to take advantage of any benefits they have not currently selected;
- Purchase a range of new benefits including:
- Health screening;
- A new Group Personal Pension scheme including a salary sacrifice option.
The new scheme was launched with group presentations led by thomsons online benefits which were followed up by meetings on a one-to-one basis which enabled employees to choose the right options for their own circumstances.
Worthington continues: “We reviewed all the major flexible benefits providers in the market and chose to work with thomsons online benefits, whose proposition was clearly superior due to their combination of consultancy, technology and financial advice”.
“As well as working with thomsons for our own benefits package, we look forward to working with them to offer their services to our own clients”.
