NFP’s guide to employee benefits benchmarking

Helping organisations align their benefits with market standards

Understanding the challenge

Attracting and retaining talent is one of the biggest challenges facing organisations today. Employers are investing in pensions, health cover, wellbeing programmes and flexible working, but many employees remain unaware of the true value of these benefits.

This means that even the most generous packages may not deliver the impact you expect. The real challenge is not only in designing competitive benefits, but in understanding how they compare to the market and how effectively they are communicated.

Why benchmarking matters:

Benchmarking provides the insight you need to measure the effectiveness of your employee benefits strategy. By comparing your offering against organisations of a similar size or sector, you can identify:

What is considered standard in the market
Where you are leading or lagging against peers
Opportunities to enhance retention and engagement
How to ensure your strategy is both competitive and valued
