Employee Benefits Evaluator by Marsh

Are you providing the right employee benefits to keep your people motivated, engaged, and loyal? Start your complimentary benefits evaluation here and learn how your employee benefits stack up against the market.

What’s the Employee Benefits Evaluator tool and how can it help my business thrive?

The Employee Benefits Evaluator (EBE) is a diagnostic tool that offers a snapshot to help you understand how your employee benefits compare to others in your market. It also offers you insights into where your company might “sit” in terms of your employee benefits journey - whether you’re just starting out or looking to add to what you already offer.

Your team are your greatest asset, and providing the right employee benefits helps them feel valued. The interactive evaluator tool can help guide your strategies to keeping and attracting top employees.

Designed for businesses like yours

If your business has between 5-500 employees, the Employee Benefits Evaluator is designed with you in mind.

Tailored for you

No two businesses are the same. The Employee Benefits Evaluator can help you refine and tailor your employee benefits to suit the needs of people in your industry.

Why should I consider the benefits we offer employees?

Benchmarking your employee benefits helps you understand just how attractive your business is to an employee or prospect. This can be important to maintaining a competitive edge, so talented people want to work at your business, and not your competitor’s.

The EBE tool may provide inspiration for benefits you could offer, but perhaps don’t, such as subsidised private health insurance, employee assistance programs, personal growth initiatives, gym memberships and more. The EBE tool could help you determine the best benefits to offer to retain and attract the best talent – and that’s good for business.
