CASE STUDY
The challenge
With 200+ staff globally, Illuminate had recently bought the UK division of a larger business. Now they needed to replace the old benefits of their 30 new employees in line with TUPE regulations. All while offering extra benefits to ease the transfer. With no increase in budget.
- Previous provider not able or willing to support a UK business of their small size
- Client wanted to offer a wide range of different benefits to a varied workforce demographic
- Life assurance and income protection needed, along with holiday buy and sell up to 5 days, with calculations based on salary
Illuminate needed to replace their new employees’ benefits package in line with TUPE regulations.
The solution
The Eppione platform increased the range of benefits options without extra cost. What’s more, our mobile app made it easy for employees to make their selections. Better still, Illuminate’s new UK HR team got to simplify their admin, self-managing on the platform to stay within budget.
- A cost-effective HR and benefits platform, staying within the client’s budget
- Took over benefits admin and brokerage for employees joining via TUPE
- Benefit costs kept the same as before or reduced, despite employees moving from a larger company
The service
Configuring the platform for a quick launch, we carried out a full market review and made sure all benefits were in place. Once employees had made their selections, we readied reports for payroll and providers. Illuminate even added further benefits at renewal, for no extra cost.
- Integrated HR and employee benefit platform, set up for a quick launch.
- One point of access for all holiday, sickness and benefits, including holiday buy and sell.
- Group presentations and one-to-one consultations, talking pensions and other benefits with employees.
The outcome
Illuminate had a simple, integrated platform for everyone to use. Benefits were put in place quickly and communicated across desktop and mobile. Better still, our broker service matched benefits to the client’s smaller UK workforce at mostly the same cost as before. New benefits were also added, to help smooth the transition.
