ORGANISATION HR SERVICES PAYROLL SERVICES EMPLOYEE BENIFITS CONSULTANCY PARTNERS CONTACT NEWS	Total remuneration packages vary greatly throughout Europe. In some country locations, Social Security contributions are high because greater employee benefits are provided by the State. Where compulsory benefits are required, Bridgehead will ensure that all statutory requirements are being complied with. However, when it comes to voluntary benefits, we work very closely with our clients to understand what level of benefits will be appropriate to incorporate. For some clients, their need is to keep benefits and costs to a minimum. Increasingly though, in a competitive employment environment in many places, a comprehensive employee benefit programme may be key in being able to recruit and just as importantly, to retain quality employees. Bridgehead account managers work with clients to understand the type of employer they are and to identify what will be required to enable them to secure the best employees and to succeed with their business plans. Employee benefit programmes will often include a range of benefits and the detailed knowledge of Bridgehead and our associates ensures cost effective and relevant solutions are achieved. Benefits will often include the following: • Retirement / pension plans • Life Assurance • Disability Insurance • Healthcare and Dental Having determined the right programme, Bridgehead will ensure that employees receive advice about their benefits and that they understand the value of these in addition to their remuneration – poor communication has often been the cause of employees not appreciating the value of their total reward – Bridgehead clients can be sure their employees are fully informed and do appreciate the value.
