Deliver market-leading benefits on a global scale, with one point of contact

Our award-winning Howden Global Benefits Management team can help remove the stress and worry of delivering a worldwide employee benefits plan, and help you:

• Manage regulatory and legal issues
• Ensure you meet financial and tax obligations
• Protect against reputational risk and employer liability
• Deliver a market-leading benefits package to help you attract and retain top talent

By tapping into our worldwide network of local specialists, you can benefit from expert territory knowledge in every market, all from one point of contact.

Specialist local regulatory and legal assistance

As part of rolling out your employee benefits plan, you’ll need to meet all legal and regulatory requirements.
 
When you’re operating on a global scale, there’s no telling how many individual regulations you’ll have to take into account.
 
We can call on experts in every territory to help you avoid legal action, fines and other potential consequences for not meeting the necessary laws.
 
You will also be legally obliged to meet the local minimum standards for employee benefits. Again, these will vary from country to country.
 
We’ll use our local expertise to take all the work of implementing this off your plate.

Meet your financial and tax obligations in every territory

Delivering employee benefits usually means some form of tax. (For you and/or your employees.)

This means developing a thorough understanding of tax and financial regulations in each territory if you’re to avoid under (or over) paying on your obligations.

Our local experts can help give you a better understanding of local tax (and other financial) regulations in each market. This can both help you meet your legal obligations and ensure that your benefits scheme is as cost-effective as possible.

Flexible individual market plans within one over-arching structure

Designing a market-leading employee benefits plan isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ process. Expectations vary depending on the region you’re in.
 
By tapping into our global network of regional experts, we can design individual bespoke plans for every territory, while keeping an over-arching structure in place that represents what you want to achieve as a business.
 
This way, you can increase your chances of attracting and retaining top talent from within your industry by offering competitive benefits in every market.
