The Employee Benefit & Wellbeing challenge for Asset Managers

We understand that the spotlight is firmly on wellbeing at work.

Post-pandemic, there is a growing expectation amongst employees that their employer has a more active role to play in helping to look after their health and wellbeing and in providing them with a positive work/life balance. However, only - 12% of Asset Management firms have a wellbeing strategy in place.*

We understand that designing an employee benefits and wellbeing strategy, particularly for asset management firms where the environment is especially complex is a challenge. It's crucial to strike the balance right and provide meaningful benefits to support your staff. We understand employees endure high stress and pressurised working environments. Looking after your workforce's mental health is key particularly as long hours, hard work and high rewards mean their performance is constantly in the spotlight.

Having the right employee benefits and wellbeing strategy in place can help you to:

✔  Recruit and retain talent

Bringing the right people in to your business will be critical to its successful growth. Employees will be looking to join an organisation where their health and wellbeing is well looked after and they have right type of support available when they need it. This is where an effective and focused employee benefits and wellbeing strategy is essential. Crucially, employee benefits policies respond with specialist support when an employee suffers ill-health and needs it the most. The speed of access to the most appropriate medical treatments, financial support during incapacity and professional and dedicated rehabilitation support ensure both employee and employer have every chance of a successful outcome when an employee suffers ill health.

✔  Meet employees’ expectations and needs.

Employees already working in the sector have come to expect a comprehensive benefits package. Those looking to leave established firms to join a start-up in the sector will want a comparable range of benefits as part of their overall remuneration package.

✔  Create a culture where employees’ health & wellbeing is key.

As employees’ needs change post-pandemic, employers that take a proactive approach in looking after workplace wellbeing are likely to see increased levels of employee engagement and happier and healthier staff.

✔  Build your reputation as an employer of choice.

Looking after your employees and creating the right culture can play a significant role in helping to build a reputation as an employer of choice and cement your reputation as a home for the brightest talent.

✔  Ensure your benefits are fit for the new world of work.

The pandemic has changed the world of work as we know it forever. Gone are the days of being office bound, 9-5, 5 days a week. Working from home and greater flexibility are becoming commonplace and employees are looking to their employers to better support their work/ life balance. Just as the workplace is changing, so it’s important to check that the employee benefits you offer remain relevant for the post-pandemic world
