Employee health and wellbeing benefits for UK employers

Today’s workforce expects more than a salary. Supporting employee health and wellbeing is now essential for improving engagement, reducing absence and retaining talent.

Pluxee helps UK employers deliver practical, inclusive employee health and wellbeing benefits that support physical, mental and financial wellbeing, all through one trusted provider.

Supporting employee health and wellbeing is no longer a “nice to have”

UK employers are facing rising absence, growing pressure on mental health, and limited access to healthcare, all while trying to attract and retain talent.

Pluxee’s employee health and wellbeing benefits help organisations support physical, mental and lifestyle wellbeing through practical, inclusive benefits such as Gym Discounts, Online GP access, an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) and a Cycle to Work salary sacrifice scheme.

 

Why employee health and wellbeing matters

Increased productivity and morale 

Healthy employees are happier, more engaged and more productive.

Bringing their best selves to work, they’re more motivated and enhance the employee experience. 

Research suggests that improving employee health and wellbeing globally could create $3.7 trillion to $11.7 trillion in economic value.

Shorter recruitment process

Recruiting new talent is expensive, and the process can be lengthy. 

Job seekers review the employee benefits offered alongside the advertised salary. 

When you list a comprehensive and inclusive range of health and wellbeing benefits, you’re more likely to attract the best people.

Better retention

Employees are more loyal to a business when it prioritises their health and wellbeing. 

When employee wellbeing is a core value and more than a tick-box exercise, you create an environment where employees feel valued. Businesses with a culture of wellbeing enjoy better employee retention rates.

Reduced absenteeism

Absenteeism costs UK businesses billions annually. 

On average, employees use half a day when they see their GP at their local surgery, and 63% of long-term sickness absences are due to mental ill health.

“Almost a year ago, I picked up my brand new ’23 plate car via my Pluxee Green Car Salary Sacrifice Scheme. Not only has it helped me create huge savings, it’s lowered my taxable income, saved me on NIC, insurance, servicing, tax, tyres, breakdown… the lot!”

Salary Sacrifice Scheme user

“I used my employer’s SmartPay scheme to purchase a voucher for IKEA, turning a 6-month plan into a next weekend plan! We used the vouchers to purchase bedroom furniture and begin redecoration. The whole process, from start to finish, was fast and simple. The voucher turnaround happened the same day! It was amazing. Thank you for enabling us to use this scheme.”

"I've saved over £400 in the last 12 months at a wide variety of high street and on-line retailers, not by changing where I shop, but by buying discounted e-vouchers and then paying either online or in store with them."
