Times have changed

How will you respond?

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic forced employers to embrace new ways of working and collaborating remotely. This has in turn shifted employees’ expectations when it comes choosing their place of work as we exit the worst of the pandemic and the restrictions placed upon industry and individuals are lifted.

There are challenges ahead for employers in identifying how to provide employees with the support they need when they are no longer present in the workplace each and every day. Fortunately, there are a range of opportunities we can explore to help you adapt to the new world of work, reinforce your approach to supporting physical, mental and financial wellbeing, and save unnecessary costs at the same time. 

Creative can help you:

  • Identify actions you can take to lower costs without cutting any employee support
  • Keep employee-related costs sustainable for the long term
  • Get back your time with simple solutions to complex challenges
  • Achieve these things without making cuts to your employee benefits that could harm your reputation and employee wellbeing

Whatever the future has in store, we can help you focus on the things you can control, change and improve today so you can face tomorrow with greater confidence.

The time is now

With over 15,000 customers and a decade of experience behind us, Creative can ensure you are operating with the greatest financial efficiency and the best possible employee care.

We specialise in making the complex simple and providing attainable solutions for employers of all kinds. Whatever your circumstances, our solutions and technology allow us to provide services with minimal disruption, minimal impact on your professional time and all fulfilled in a way that suits your workforce – whether office-based, remote, or hybrid.

Creative can lower your costs

Legislation and employer duties are complex and ever-increasing. Many employers resort to paying expensive third-party consultants for services, including auto enrolment; compliance; group risk and healthcare insurance consulting; pension governance; benefits management and employee care.

Creative can:

  • Help your organisation recover from the economic impacts of COVID-19
  • Significantly reduce consulting costs in almost all circumstances
  • Provide all these services with our in-house experts
  • Coordinate service delivery in a sustainable way so you can budget for the future

How?

Creative is an altogether different kind of financial services organisation. We’re not just financial advisers and corporate consultants – we’re also a provider of financial products too. This gives us the flexibility to recommend the best solutions in the market to our customers or to create a solution if the right one doesn’t exist.

We bring the full spectrum of financial expertise together in one place, offering the experience, professionalism and accountability needed to simplify the complex and solve your challenges.

With Creative, you don’t have to choose between the costly expertise of a financial adviser or employee benefits consultant and the value for money you get from dealing with a provider directly – you can have both. We can show you how to make your money go further – no compromises necessary.

Example

  • £15,000 per annum saving on Workplace Pension and Governance Services
  • Manufacturer
  • 500 employees

Creative makes Salary Exchange a cinch

Legislation and employer duties are complex and ever-increasing. Many employers resort to paying expensive third-party consultants for services, including auto enrolment; compliance; group risk and healthcare insurance consulting; pension governance; benefits management and employee care.

Creative can:

  • Significantly reduce consulting costs in almost all circumstances
  • Provide all these services with our in-house experts
  • Coordinate service delivery in a sustainable way so you can budget for the future.

How?

Employers pay less Employer National Insurance Contributions as a result of agreeing a reduced salary with each employee. This saving can be used to reduce the overall cost of managing the Workplace Pension or it can be used as an additional incentive to employees, boosting their contributions.

By giving up an amount of their pay before they would otherwise receive it, employees benefit from a reduction in both their Income Tax and National Insurance Contributions. This makes their pension contributions far more effective.

Many corporate consultants and financial advisers avoid Salary Exchange schemes because of the administration involved.

Our technology makes Salary Exchange a cinch, giving you a simple and long-term solution to provide your organisation and employees with more cash when they need it most.

Example

  • £400,000 per annum employer saving.
  • National childcare organisation
  • 3,500 members
