Winner: Severn Trent Water
Scheme: Lifestyle
Entered by: Edenred
The judges were looking for an employer with more than 1,000 employees that has made delivering benefits through a flexible benefits plan effective. This is a plan that operates with a set enrolment period in which employees select benefits for a defined period.
The judges were impressed with the engagement Severn Trent Water achieved after revamping its flex scheme, which included launching several cutting-edge benefits.
The judges said: “[This scheme deserves] kudos for getting ahead of the curve. It is a very impressive strategy, which had clear aims and objectives from the outset.”
The winner said: “We tried to make our flexible benefits offering available to a large, diverse workforce and consider everyone.”
