Employee Engagement
Ensure your employee benefits are something your people actually understand, use and value.
Give employees genuinely personalised support
From pensions and salary exchange to savings and budgeting, we help your employees understand their options and make informed decisions based on their own situation.
Make your benefits investment work harder
Increase awareness, understanding and engagement with the benefits you already provide, helping employees see the value and giving you the best return.
Make wellbeing work for your business
Build a programme that supports engagement and retention, and understand what’s working and where to improve.
It’s easy to assume that employees understand the benefits available to them.
In reality, many people don’t know exactly what they have, what those benefits are worth to them, or what they need to do to make the most of them.
In fact, 43% of UK employees are unaware of all the benefits available to them through their employer. This translates to company budget being spent without unlocking maximum return on investment.
At Omny Benefits, along with crafting a compelling benefits strategy around your needs and budget, we engage directly with your employees to explain the benefits you provide, answer questions and help them understand what those benefits could mean for them personally. This encourages higher uptake and enables you to reap the rewards of a happier, more engaged team.
Understand your business and your people
Before anything, we hold a free, no cost, no obligation consultation to understand what you currently provide, what you want to achieve and where you see the biggest challenges. We can review your existing benefits and use relevant employee data to help shape our recommendations.
Design and deliver a tailored benefits programme
Once you’ve decided to work with us, we create an engagement approach around your reviewed benefits and team. This includes planning on-site support days for ongoing engagement activity.
Get your people truly engaged
We bring your benefits to life through group sessions, explaining what employees have and why it matters. We then organise individual meetings for employees to talk about their own circumstances. Our on-site support can flex to deliver whichever communication methods are most beneficial at that time.
Encourage employees to take action
Whether it’s understanding their pension, exploring salary exchange, tackling their budget or simply knowing which benefits they have access to, our consultants help your employees move from understanding to action.
Review, learn and improve
Our work isn’t complete after the initial engagement sessions. We hold ongoing corporate reviews to understand what worked, what employees valued, and where there are opportunities to improve. We can also benchmark existing benefits and adapt future engagement around a changing employee base and shifting business priorities.

Frequently asked questions
What is employee engagement in employee benefits?
Employee benefits engagement is about helping employees understand, value and make use of the benefits their employer provides. At Omny Benefits, this involves direct conversations with employees through group presentations and one-to-one meetings, rather than relying solely on online information or benefits documents.
Do you provide one-to-one meetings with employees?
Yes. One-to-one employee meetings are a key part of our approach. They give employees the opportunity to discuss their own circumstances and ask questions they may not raise during a group presentation.
Do you provide financial advice to employees?
Most of the support provided through employee engagement is financial guidance. This means helping employees understand their options and the potential pros and cons so they can make an informed decision themselves.
Where an employee requires regulated financial advice, such as advice about transferring or consolidating pensions or selecting specific investments, they can access the appropriate advice through Omny Personal Finance.
What financial topics can employees discuss?
This can vary depending on the employee, but conversations can include pensions, pension contributions, salary exchange, existing pension pots, budgeting, debt, savings, buying a home and longer-term financial planning.
Do you provide group presentations?
Yes. Group presentations are an important part of our employee engagement approach. We tailor the content around the benefits your organisation provides and use the sessions to help employees understand what they have, why it matters and what they may want to explore further.
Do you help with employee onboarding?
Yes. Employee engagement can form part of your onboarding process, helping new employees understand their benefits and giving them a clear point of contact if they have questions.
Is employee engagement included when we work with Omny Benefits?
Employee engagement forms part of our wider benefits service. Once you become a client, we arrange group presentations and one-to-one meetings as part of the engagement process, with the level of ongoing support depending on your specific arrangement.
How do you measure whether employee engagement is working?
We use ongoing conversations and corporate reviews to understand what employees have valued, what has worked well and where there may be gaps. We can also look at how benefits are being used and benchmark existing arrangements to identify opportunities for improvement.
