Danone UK, the dairy food firm, is introducing critical illness cover and travel insurance to its flexible benefits scheme.
The new additions will sit alongside other benefits, which include a pension, private medical insurance, dental insurance and childcare vouchers.
Liz Ellis, HR director at Danone UK, is hoping that take-up rates for the new benefits will be as good as those for the home computing initiative (7%) and health screening scheme (4%) which were both introduced as part of the flexible benefits scheme last July.
