GKN sees benefit of using BHSF
REDDITCH engineering giant GKN is launching a new employee benefits package across its entire 6,000 strong UK workforce.
It has partnered with employee benefits provider and health insurer BHSF to deliver the ‘GKN Advantage’ programme. The Advantage programme has sought to bring together a range of meaningful benefits, which the organisation believes will further develop employee engagement.
Susan Grant, GKN projects manager, global reward outlined the approach taken, saying: “We have had to be quite innovative in the way we have approached the programme in order to satisfy the many stakeholders within our business while ensuring we offer comparable, if not improved value, on benefits such as childcare vouchers and health cash plans.
“We have sought to bring together a range of high-value benefits which genuinely help our employees’ pay go that little bit further.”
Through the Advantage programme, staff can now access a variety of benefits from confidential legal and counselling services, to personal vehicle management under a fleet- style scheme, as well as childcare vouchers and bicycles on a salary sacrifice basis. GKN staff can also opt-in to a variety of health insurance schemes, as well as health screening and a personal online health assessment.
Brian Hall, sales and marketing director at Birmingham-based BHSF, said: “This has been our biggest challenge to date. Delivering such a wide range of benefits to an employee group, which takes excellence as standard, has meant that we have had to lift our game still further.”
