United Kingdom
A leading G15 housing association wanted to understand how its benefits package compared across the market.
With a workforce spanning entry level to executive leadership, the organisation sought clarity on how competitive its offering was at each tier.
By benchmarking against peers and comparable employers across housing, public and private sectors, the association aimed to identify gaps, strengthen its employee value proposition and ensure its benefits supported both attraction and retention across the organisation.
The review gave the client a clear view of where they stood and practical steps to bring their benefits in line with the market, strengthening their position as a competitive and supportive employer.
Our Approach
Market Benchmarking
We mapped benefit structures across competitors and relevant employers, focusing on areas such as annual leave, pensions, parental leave policies, car allowances and enhanced wellbeing support.
Tiered Analysis
We reviewed benefits at entry, management, senior management and executive level. This included analysis of where bonuses were applied, what KPIs were used, and where enhanced benefits were offered.
Comprehensive Review
We combined this data into a detailed report highlighting areas of strength and weakness. This included recommendations on maternity, paternity, enhanced parental and fertility-related benefits, as well as Employee Assistance Programmes.
