Sage launch flexible benefits with Thomsons Online Benefits
Sage has launched a new online flexible benefits package to their UK employees in conjunction with Thomsons Online Benefits.
Sage is a FTSE 100 company and supplier of business management software and services to 5.8 million customers worldwide.
Sage chose to work with Thomsons to implement and support the flexible benefits package following an intensive selection process.
The new scheme, called “Sage Select”, includes core benefits such as pension and holiday, plus additional benefits employees can choose to fit in with their lifestyle. Pension Salary sacrifice was introduced to generate savings on National Insurance contributions with a 98% take up. The savings were used to provide a Healthcare Cash Plan to all employees. Using Thomsons’ technology, Sage employees can now view their personalised total reward statements, and make benefit selections online. They are also offered a wide range of employee discounts and online payslips to reduce paper and energy and to keep people visiting the site regularly.
Leisa Docherty, Head of HR and Reward comments: Offering flexible benefits enables our people to mould their package to their lifestyle. Since we are such a diverse and growing business, we also wanted to make the most of benefit efficiencies through salary sacrifice and improved administration. In addition as a technology business we wanted to use partners whose technology and regulated advice was market leading. We had login rates of 98% which we were very pleased with and is testament to the way we communicated Select. We are looking forward to continuing to develop Sage Select in the future.”
