Stagecoach Group is refreshing its benefits package by adding childcare vouchers. The travel company previously only offered its 19,000 UK staff free travel and the opportunity of entering a share scheme.

However, with the help of Accor Services, Stagecoach is setting up a ‘test run’ of childcare vouchers on 100 employees based at their head office in Perth, Scotland in November.

The scheme will run on a salary sacrifice basis of between £40 and £217 per month. If the trial is successful, the benefit will be rolled out to more employees, possibly nationwide.
