A new survey from Reed Employment reveals that 58 per cent of UK employees are grumbling about their employee benefits packages. At Christmas it’s nice to feel some appreciation for the past year’s hard work and 60 per cent of jobseekers would like to receive an annual bonus – saying it’s their number one benefit they look out for. Yet just 44 per cent of employees actually receive a yearly bonus, so what else are we missing out on? Few companies offer the choice of a sabbatical (2 per cent) or creche facilities for working parents (2 per cent), but 35 per cent of companies offer a Christmas party and free parking, 27 per cent offer a contributory pension, 22 per cent give a staff discount, 21 per cent promote ‘dress down Friday’ and 18 per cent of staff receive a company mobile phone.
