Flexible Benefits Programs

Recognising that the future of any business depends upon the calibre and commitment of its staff is the key driver for many organisations in offering a comprehensive employee benefits and rewards package. Group Pensions, Group Life Assurance, Group Income Protection and Group Private Medical Insurance are just some of the key elements of this package and, as such, can provide the competitive edge in the recruitment and retention of your best staff.

Lansdown Place is Impartial and can offer Independent Financial Advice in this area. Our Corporate Benefits division offers specialist advice to all types of businesses.

Our aim is to be an addition to your team and to work with you over time to begin to understand what it is that you are trying to achieve with your reward strategy and to help you to try to achieve this through our comprehensive range of advice options and complimentary services.

In our experience, many employees do not fully understand how their existing company benefit schemes operate, or even what benefits are offered. Therefore, they put very little value to a scheme, even where an employer has invested a lot of time, money and commitment. We believe that it is important that employees appreciate their company’s employee benefit arrangements.

In many cases we find that the benefits packages offered in most companies has not been regularly reviewed. We ensure that whatever your employee benefits strategy, it is relevant to your current work force.
