SPECIALIST EMPLOYEE BENEFITS & WELLBEING & INSURANCE SOLUTIONS FOR THE LEGAL SECTOR

There are many reasons why the legal sector is recognised as one of the most interesting and exciting places to work, including:

• Good career opportunities
• Financial reward and earning potential
• Varied work; and
• the ability to make a genuine difference to people’s lives

But it’s a sector that’s not without challenges. Long hours, demanding workloads, managing work/life balance and looking after the health & wellbeing of employees are issues regularly cited by firms. This is where a comprehensive employee benefits & wellbeing strategy can help.

Howden have long been recognised as experts within the legal sector and our award-winning employee benefits team are no exception. Over 750 law firms already choose Howden to advise them and we’re proud to be a trusted partner to the sector.

Together, we can:

• Review your existing employee benefits. Are they still fit for purpose? Do they provide the support your people need in the ‘new normal’?
• Assess if you’re getting the maximum value from your benefits? Are you making the most of what you offer?
• Find the right health & wellbeing solutions to keep your people fit and healthy and give them peace of mind that health advice and treatment is quickly on hand when they need it most.
• Understand how your benefits stack up against your competition and how they can help to ensure you stand out as an employer of choice.
• Understand your firm’s and peoples’ specific wellbeing needs and recommend an actionable plan to address them.
• Improve your communications. Your employees won’t understand or appreciate what you offer them without regular and engaging communications. We’ll help you spread the word through a range of channels so they can access the information they need, when and where they need it.
• Give your people more choice over their benefits, so they can tailor their benefits around the needs of their family and lifestyle.
• Support employees’ financial wellbeing so they can take control of their money and better prepare for retirement.
