Developing a bespoke plan The options for supporting employees’ mental and physical wellbeing are endless. With the growing focus on wellness, companies are constantly coming up with new and innovative ways to support their employees, while new employee benefits continue to be introduced in the UK. However, developing and managing an employee benefits platform can be a challenge, especially if your business is operating in more than one country. Consequently, it’s important for companies to consult with specialists such as Eppione to help design and manage a fit-forpurpose employee benefits offering. When it comes to health and wellbeing, one size will not fit all, so offering flexible benefits may be the best way to ensure benefits are truly tailored to the needs of individuals. And with the finance industry currently getting to grips with a new way of working post the pandemic (which may see a further increase in anxiety, depression and stress), financial companies looking to recruit and retain top talent, while looking after the wider workforce, will provide a range of employee benefits to support their workforce during these challenging times.
