PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) offers core, flexible and voluntary benefits.
The core benefits - life assurance, personal accident, income protection, and private medical insurance - offer a fixed level of cover, but staff can increase this if they wish.
Flexible benefits include holiday trading - down to a minimum of 20 days or up to a maximum of 30 - a defined contribution (DC) pension, health screening, bikes for work and childcare vouchers. Carolyn Wilkinson, senior employee benefits manager, says: "We have got a flexible benefits plan that is extensive so it can meet the needs of a diverse workforce."
Voluntary benefits include retail discount vouchers, discounted gym membership, and a concierge service that employees can use to arrange holidays or book theatre tickets, for example.
There is a huge take-up of flex among PwC's 14,000 staff - about 90% submitted a request during the renewal period in September. One of its most popular benefits is the holiday trading scheme, in which nearly 60% of staff opted to take part.
