Argos Retail Group has rolled out discounted offers to 1,500 Argos and Homebase employees in the Republic of Ireland as part of a voluntary benefits package. Vicky West, benefits manager at Argos Retail Group, said the range of benefits was aimed at attracting staff as the company embarks on a rapid expansion plan in Ireland.

Under the voluntary scheme, healthcare and dental coverage is available to staff at a 10% to 12% provider discount. The scheme also provides discounts at high street and online retailers selling CDs, flowers and holidays.
