The Employee Benefits Salary survey 2014, which questioned 361 people who are responsible for managing benefits and reward in UK organisations, also found that three-quarters (67%) have access to voluntary benefits.

Tax-efficient perks are also offered to most respondents, particularly benefits offered via salary sacrifice arrangements.

The most common tax-efficient benefits available to HR and benefits professionals are childcare vouchers (59%), followed by pension contributions (50%), bikes-for-work schemes (39%) and payroll-giving schemes (25%).
