As an employer, you can help your employees by providing access to financial and debt management services, counsellors, 24/7 GP services and shopping discounts through a cost effective employee benefits scheme.
Providing employee benefits to your workforce doesn’t have to break the bank. SSLPost offer a full range of employee benefits options from a simple shopping discount scheme that costs the employer nothing, zero, nada (it’s true!), to the full health and wellbeing package costing from £2.50 per employee per month. Such a small amount could make a huge difference to those employees struggling to balance their budgets.
