In this session (Be Better at Attracting and Retaining Skilled Staff) Martin Vincent, St. James’s Place will be your host. 

You will learn: 

This session is designed specifically for SME business owners to demonstrate how investing in a comprehensive benefits package for your staff, can not only provide financial protection for your business but also contribute to its growth. By attracting the most talented individuals and retaining in-house expertise, your business is less likely to be impacted by high staff turnover – and it costs less than you might think. Join us for this session to hear insights from industry specialists on how SME businesses are investing in staff benefits in order to compete with large employers.

3 top tips you’ll walk away with:

• 80% of employees say they’d feel more positive towards their employer if they offered better health and wellbeing benefits.
• You may have little or no funds available to boost your benefits budget, but with an average £27,000 price tag attached to an SME replacing a member of staff, it’s worth investing in your employee benefits as a key staff retention tool. Rebalancing your benefits package is a way you can free up funds without necessarily having to increase your budget.
• 79% of employees believe the responsibility for managing staff health and wellbeing should be shared between employer and employee.
