The last few years have seen the passing of a plethora of legislation and additional regulation and there is much more to come. The promised simplicity will be great when it arrives but getting there will involve comprehensive communications and more cost.
Regent recommend that clients undertake a complete review to ensure that all benefits are aligned not only with the needs of employees but, importantly, the ability of the employer to continue to finance them.
Only once the required benefits have been identified can it make sense to invest time and resources on cost/value, administration and communications exercises.
