FLEXIBLE BENEFITS
Trowers & Hamlins launches online flexible benefits
Trowers & Hamlins LLP, an international law firm with offices throughout UK and Middle East, has launched a flexible benefits programme online.
By moving its benefits scheme online, in conjunction with Thomsons Online Benefits, Trowers & Hamlins aimed to boost the engagement of its 800-strong international workforce, enhancing employees’ benefit appreciation and participation. The firm also wanted to improve the accuracy of its benefit administration and reduce the burden, through the use of Thomsons’ multi-currency and multi-lingual online technology “Perquisite”.

Total reward statements
Total reward statements were launched to allow employees to select their benefits online, make changes, and view their updated value in real time. Thomsons’ online pensions’ tool was also introduced, enabling employees to easily select their contribution levels, review their funds’ projections and monitor their performance.
A communications solution, under the brand “th & me”, was devised for the launch. Both offline and online media, as well as group presentations, were used to enhance employees’ understanding of their benefits package.
A final word
“The launch of ‘th & me’ reflects our commitment to our people. The online tool enabled us to reach employees in all our locations. With the help of Thomsons we have been able to motivate our employees and improve their understanding of the value of their total reward on top of salary. We have also been able to remove the burden of administering benefits in multiple international sites.” - Paul Robinson, Director of HR at Trowers & Hamlins.
