Travis Perkins' Group Head of Reward on the value of voluntary benefits

Delivering a robust rewards and benefits programme provides a great opportunity for companies to attract, retain and engage with employees.

But how tailored to an individual is a generic rewards programme? Would voluntary benefits have a better impact on the workforce?

Apparently so for British builders' merchant and home improvement retailer, Travis Perkins. Their Group Head of Reward, Paul Nelson shared with HR Grapevine the added-value behind ‘voluntary benefits’ in the workplace.

“For Travis Perkins plc, it was important that the benefit programme embraced organisation complexity, giving opportunities to manage legacy terms and conditions, simplify administration and improve data management,” says Nelson.
