Using a personal experience with Cancer to shape a better approach to Employee Benefits

Using a personal experience with Cancer to shape a better approach to Employee Benefits

Employee Benefits are more than just a tick-box exercise, they can be life-changing. Just ask Adam Riley, Black Mountain’s Employee Benefits Director in the UK. Adam’s personal journey with cancer reshaped his perspective on what truly matters when it comes to employee support. His experience highlighted the crucial need for well-structured, accessible, and genuinely beneficial programmes that support employees when they need it most.

In today’s workforce, managing Employee Benefits across multiple locations can be a daunting task. With varying regulations, multiple providers, and escalating costs, ensuring that benefits actually serve employees effectively is a challenge that many businesses struggle to overcome. It’s a challenge no employer can afford to ignore.

The complexity of global Employee Benefits

For multinational companies, offering competitive and compliant Employee Benefits isn’t just about retention, it’s about putting their best foot forward to compete in the ongoing war for talent. However, juggling multiple providers, managing compliance, and trying to find cost-effective solutions can be overwhelming. A better approach to Employee Benefits is needed.

At Black Mountain, we believe in simplifying this process. Our approach integrates global Employee Benefits with local specialists and our wider outsourced Payroll, Employer of Record (EoR), and HR services. This way, businesses have one centralised solution, ensuring compliance and competitiveness without unnecessary administrative burden.
