Businesses across the country are turning to bees in a bid to improve employee wellbeing. On rooftops, courtyards, and even office car parks, an increasing number of workplaces are installing beehives – to ease employee stress, promote community, and reconnect workers with nature. [1]
Where having beehives on the premises isn’t viable, specialist beekeeping companies offer a range of alternative ways for workers to connect with bees – including half-day trips and online lunchtime workshops (complete with webcam footage of the bees at work).
Far from a distracting novelty, businesses buying into bees as a workplace perk have noticed improved wellbeing and stronger team cohesion.
While your business may not be equipped to install beehives, Titan’s expert consultants could help you build a sweet mix of workplace benefits and make access smooth as honey for your employees.
Why benefits are the bees’ knees for your business
Like bees to honey, a great benefits package can help you attract and retain talent.
But more than that, benefits show you care about your people’s health, wellbeing, and financial security. Conceived with care, a workplace benefits package can enhance job satisfaction and lasting loyalty.
From financial benefits such as workplace pensions and group protection to quality health and wellbeing services, there are multiple options that you can combine to create a package to suit your business and benefit your team.
For example, beyond the obligatory workplace pension scheme, you may wish to support your employees’ long-term financial security by offering financial advice in the workplace, which includes:
- Resources to help your staff understand the value of their workplace pension plan.
- Group presentations to educate staff about the workplace pension.
- One-to-one advice to help employees invest wisely in their future.
Additional benefits might include group insurance cover, such as:
- Life assurance
- Income protection
- Critical illness cover.
Meanwhile, if you wish to support your employees’ health and wellbeing, you could add an employee assistance package, through which you could provide:
- 24/7 access to remote GP services
- Dental plans paying for regular check-ups
- Money towards eye care services
- Physiotherapy
- Counselling.
Some schemes also offer full medical insurance, covering the full cost of major treatment and surgery, and a range of variations in between.
