Listen: For Jet Plant Hire, a driving factor in providing a valued benefits proposition for its whole workforce is ensuring that it provides a wide enough range that meets everyone’s needs and requirements.
In this episode of the Employee Benefits podcast, Sarah Davies, head of people performance at Jet Plant, explains how key to achieving this goal is being agile enough to be able to put benefits in place that employees want or might ask for. Involving employees through regular communication and feedback helps the employer ensure that its benefits package remains relevant and appreciated.
