New White Paper - "The rise of the nanny employer"


This month's lead research article is entitled "The rise of the nanny employer" written by Helen Craik, Asperity's Director of HR Policy & Strategy.

In this white paper, Helen discusses holiday, pensions, education, childcare, health and stress and voluntary benefits in the context of the psychological contract between employees and employers. Key issues covered are :

  • What is a bona-fide employee benefit and what is an intrusion (even a welcome intrusion) into areas that should properly be an employee's own responsibility.
  • What is the impact of abuse or exploitation of benefits by a minority of employees?
  • Should basic skills classes and general education really be an employers responsibility?

Read the full white paper online

 

If you have any questions or feedback on this white paper then Helen would love to hear them. Helen can be reached at helen@asperity.co.uk.

 

Asperity commissions major employee benefits study

Asperity has commissioned a major study on employee benefits strategy within leading UK corporates. The study will look at the design, effectiveness and communication of employee benefit schemes and will provide a benchmark of the state of employee benefits within leading UK employers.

Phase 1 of the study is now recruiting and face to face interviews with leading employers will start in the next few weeks. If you have already been contacted by ourselves or our market research agency then I'd be tremendously grateful if you could find the time to meet the researchers.

 

If you haven't been contacted yet and are responsible for benefits strategy in an organisation of more than 3000 UK based staff then we would love to include you. Alan Voyle, a member of the Market Research Society, is leading the research for us and he can be contacted by email if you would like to be involved. All participants in the study will be given full access to the detailed analysis produced. Alan's email address is alanvoyle@btinternet.com.

Next Retail Ltd appoints Asperity to provide voluntary benefits.
