Attracting and retaining good staff in hospitality is always challenging. Creating benefits packages with which to engage, motivate and retain new and existing staff members may be the answer. Whilst hospitality operators are continuously trying to build strong teams to deliver the best service possible, the repetitive cost of recruiting and training people, only to have them leave when a better offer presents itself, becomes a continued drain on resources and budget. Now, for employers struggling to attract staff in an incredibly competitive market, it is possible to: make overall employment packages more attractive, add benefits to supplement salary, create appealing and attractive incentives, thus making you stand out from the crowd.

Paperchase talks to Ann Barker, Sales & Partnerships Director of Excellect, an independent employee benefits and health insurance broker.

It’s common for employers to think “we can’t afford to offer employee benefit packages” but the benefits arena has changed dramatically in recent years. This means that good, solid benefits, with a wide appeal to all age groups, are available to all employers and they don’t have to cost the earth. Here are some simple ideas:

Health Benefits

Virtual GP

Retail Discounts

Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)

Protection Benefits

Benefits start from as little as £1 per employee per week and some of the above mentioned are often packaged together in one plan. Excellect talks through all the options with clients, conducts market research and provides costings without obligation. We then help them set up their benefit schemes as well as support with administration and queries throughout the year, saving the employer time and effort. We offer free employee benefit reviews for those businesses with benefits already in place, and we don’t charge a fee.
