Thames Water has consolidated its voluntary benefits, salary sacrifice, and reward and recognition schemes into a single offering in a bid to increase engagement among its 5,000 staff.

Its new scheme, 'Benefits on tap', which is provided by Asperity Employee Benefits, enables staff to access shopping discounts, a cycle-to-work scheme and a new long-service award system.

Other features include Google Maps for staff to search for local offers and a savings centre where they can track their savings and forecast future savings.

Sarah Hunt, head of reward, policy and employee relations at Thames Water, commented: "We hope this technology will boost take-up by ensuring communications are relevant to each individual."
