create a scheme that will engage all employees
control costs and make savings whilst offering innovative benefits

For organisations implementing or operating modern employee benefit packages, the changing landscape presents a range of challenges: the economic downturn, the introduction of new employment legislation and the desire to be seen as a progressive employer.

Our breakfast briefings provide a focussed and practical look at these challenges by leading experts with a wealth of experience and solutions. With a small selected group of attendees, there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions and explore issues.

This 2 hour session is taking place in one f London’s most exciting venues, The Gherkin. The briefing includes breakfast and guests will have an opportunity to view London from the top of the Gherkin after the briefing closes.
