Employee benefits advisory service

Redefining your approach to employee benefits

    As the world of work evolves, ensuring employees feel valued, connected, and committed is mission critical. To distinguish from competitors, businesses are recognising the value of a compelling benefits programme and an employee value proposition (EVP) that is fully brought to life to attract, retain, and motivate talent.

    However, amid changing employee preferences, lifestyle choices and business priorities, delivering the right benefits while ensuring employee engagement can prove challenging.

    Our solution: a benefits advisory service that redefines employee benefits by focusing on what matters most – an enhanced alignment between your EVP and the value your employees receive. We deliver a holistic reward strategy review with the aim of enriching your employees’ experience through the selection of appropriate benefits, meaningful wellbeing support, and effective communication.

    Benefits Advisory Service FAQs

    Unlike our competitors, we function as an extension of our clients’ teams, collaborating closely to understand your business inside out, before delivering expert consultation to provide effective benefit solutions.

    We continuously monitor service metrics, not just at renewal time.

    Importantly, we are not owned by or operate solely on behalf of any insurer or provider. We curate a suite of best-in-class providers matched against client requirements, taking an integrated 360-degree viewpoint of benefits and their alignment with our clients’ business strategy.

    We help enhance your Employee Value Proposition (EVP) by reviewing, designing, and delivering an integrated employee benefits programme. A programme that aligns with your culture, values, and business priorities, whilst effectively, and holistically, communicating the benefits programme.

    We adopt two main approaches:

    • A repackaging of an existing offering with the primary focus of increasing awareness, engagement, and utilisation of offering and services. This can include the use of a dedicated benefits portal.

    • Reshaping current benefits offering to align with broader business objectives, DE&I (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) alignment, capturing service and end-user metrics to enhance the EVP.

    With all or a selection of the following:

    • An independent, expert, employee benefits advisory service.

    • Bespoke employee benefits portal.

    • Benefits assessment report capturing DE&I and ESG alignment objectives, benchmarking, and recommendations for programme improvement.

    • Communication and engagement support.

    • Discounted provider costs and charges.

    • Curated suite of benefit providers to match client requirements.

    • Ongoing data capture for actionable insights.

    • Co-creative partnership structure between our clients, their providers, and Lockton.

    Yes, we collate all your employee benefits together in one easy-to-use customised portal, giving your employees the resources they need to understand their health, financial, and lifestyle benefits better.

    We simplify the benefits landscape by optimising the alignment between business and employee needs. For some organisations, a review of their communications and engagement strategy around any existing offerings – communicated holistically – is a simple yet efficient first step that can yield a tangible and cost-effective impact.

    As the process evolves, the DE&I and ESG perspectives can be integrated with a comprehensive analysis of employee benefits service metrics and insights collected directly from employees.

    Yes. We help design and deliver appropriate benefits that have a meaningful and sustained impact on the wellbeing of your employees. This can include support for chronic conditions like diabetes or cardiovascular disease, family forming benefits, flexible leave policies, access to independent financial education and advisors, or mental health support that goes beyond traditional EAP. Wellbeing is a broad spectrum and should be tailored to the specific needs and preferences of the workforce at all work/life stages.

    At Lockton, we transform your employee benefits into a market-leading and engaging cornerstone for organisational success. Our capabilities extend beyond traditional offerings like private healthcare, life, and disability insurance. We explore innovative territories, including environmental benefits like electric vehicles and carbon offsetting, as well as valuable propositions that foster physical, mental, and financial wellbeing.

    The benefits available to your employees and their families not only provide individual value, but can align with your people-based goals, approach to wellbeing, ESG, and DE&I, all for the long-term benefit of your organisation.
