Charteris has launched a childcare voucher scheme this month following employee requests for the perk.

The professional services firm has also added details about the benefit to its online platform, which was launched last October.

The company is now assessing the options available to it around flexible and voluntary benefits schemes.

Barry Hoffman, head of human resources, said: "Hopefully we will launch a voluntary benefits scheme, but we need to make sure that the benefits we introduce will work for us."
