Richard Doig, client director at Everywhen, said: “Employers should not underestimate the value that benefits platforms can bring to the business as well as to the employees themselves. 

“Yes, they simplify benefits management, saving time and money in terms of admin, and this is great, but there are also many other vital aspects. 

“Benefit platforms can bring much greater, quantitative insight into the needs and behaviours of employees.”

Doig added: “This can help businesses to make informed choices and develop strategic plans on which benefits to offer, so they gain the greatest possible returns on the investment.

“Organisations using benefits platforms should regularly review whether they are making full use of the functionality available to them, including reporting, employee communications and engagement tools.
