Their challenge
With a fresh pair of eyes as a new HRD perspective, Mark Powell questioned if it was providing the best value for money. The business was unsure how competitive the benefits provision was in practice, and within the team there was a lack of clarity on how to best collate its benefits package.
Our solution
Innecto reviewed Saga’s benefits proposition through an objective, data-led desktop exercise, assessing usage, value, duplication and market competitiveness. Drawing on sector insight and best practice, the team identified overlaps, explored creative alternatives and clarified the role benefits should play in Saga’s wider reward strategy, helping shape a simpler, more meaningful and strategically aligned offer.
The outcome
-
Confirmed Saga’s overall benefits package was competitive, providing a strong foundation to build from rather than requiring wholesale redesign.
-
Identified duplicated provision, including mental health support available through two providers, creating opportunities to simplify spend and improve return on investment.
-
Highlighted under-used brand-aligned benefits, such as grandparent leave and access to Saga insurance products, to strengthen relevance and employee value.
-
Recommended grouping benefits around key life events, making the offer easier for employees to understand, access and use at the moments that matter.
-
Enabled Saga to articulate a clearer, more meaningful benefits proposition aligned to its values, USP and strategic objectives.
