Publishing company Trader Media Group is to introduce online total reward statements and a flexible benefits scheme for its 1,700 employees in the UK and Ireland in 2010.

The company, which publishes titles such as Auto Trader magazine, will also roll out a new HR, payroll and expenses system in November this year.

This system, along with the new benefits programmes, will be provided by Ceridian.

Joanne Walker, human resources director at Trader Media Group, said the firm was trying to move away from its fixed, traditional employee benefits package."Our benefits did not reflect our changing workforce profile or fit with our ongoing recruitment needs," she said.

"We felt an integrated flexible benefits solution was a much better fit for our employees, giving them far greater choice."
