About this webinar
Budget pressures are mounting, with the rise in National Insurance contributions adding to the strain. People teams are being asked to deliver more with what they already have in place, while employees are turning to their organisations for support with their mental, physical, and financial wellbeing amid economic uncertainty.
So how can your HR team continue to deliver meaningful support without overstretching already limited budgets? And how can your people leaders continue to demonstrate value and absorb rising costs without sacrificing culture or experience?
Join us for our upcoming webinar on Tuesday 22nd July 2025 at 1pm, where our Employee Experience Experts, Ali Fitzsimons and Kate Ithell, will explore how HR can respond strategically to these rising costs. They'll discuss how employee benefits, such as salary sacrifice schemes, can serve as cost-neutral high-impact solutions, equipping you with insights to make smarter decisions and a bigger difference in your employees’ lives.
Kate and Ali will explore:
- The impact of the National Insurance increase on HR budgets and employee take-home pay
- Why investing in the right benefits now can save you money later
- How salary sacrifice benefits can reduce costs for both employees and employers – and even fund wider HR initiatives
- Real-life examples of organisations using cost-effective benefits to offset rising contributions
- The role of strategic benefits in enhancing wellbeing, retention and your HR profile
This is your opportunity to rethink the numbers and put people back at the centre of your cost-saving strategy.
