Wiggin LLP have launched flexible benefits for their employees in conjunction with thomsons online benefits.
October 3, 2005 (Press Release) --
Wiggin LLP are a rapidly expanding specialist media law firm who focus exclusively on film, music, sport, gaming, technology, broadcast and publishing. In August, they introduced flexible benefits for their employees who are based in Cheltenham.
Since the majority of Wiggin’s clients are UK or US listed, they felt it was important to offer their employees a cutting edge benefits package whilst also offering the lifestyle attraction of living in Cheltenham. As they seek to recruit employees in a fiercely competitive environment, they wanted to implement flexible benefits to differentiate themselves in the legal sector where flexible benefits are rarely offered.
To design and implement their flexible benefits scheme, Wiggin chose thomsons online benefits.
Wiggin offered their employees a range of flexible benefits including private medical insurance, pension, childcare vouchers, holiday, and tax free bicycles, together with core benefits such as life cover and permanent health insurance. They also introduced a range of voluntary benefits offering employees discounts on a range of products and services including gym membership, eye care vouchers, dental insurance, financial health check, personal loans, holidays, travel insurance, spa days, wine club and baby products.
thomsons online benefits implemented their “Perquisite™” software branded in keeping with the Wiggin corporate identity to enable employees to select and enrol into their benefits, and then to view and manage them on an ongoing basis.
Wiggin now plan to continue to grow and develop the scheme and will be adding a tax free PC option in the next few months.
John Banister, COO of Wiggin comments: “The most striking thing for me about the launch of this project has been the clarity now available to employees regarding the range of benefits available to them. Offering a cutting edge package that is flexible will help in our bid to attract and retain the talent that we need to sustain our business growth”.
“We selected thomsons online benefits as our partner in this project because of the depth of their experience and knowledge in the flexible benefits arena. Their ability to provide a combination of both consultancy and technology meant we could rely on them to guide us through the entire process”.
