Cut costs, simplify admin and improve ROI - the smarter way to deliver payroll-linked benefits
In 2025, the pressure on payroll and benefits teams is real. Inflation, retention risks, tighter budgets, legacy systems… It’s no wonder HR and payroll professionals are rethinking how to deliver meaningful benefits with less complexity and more measurable value.
But there’s good news: the answer doesn’t always lie in costly new platforms or perks. Sometimes, the simplest tools can drive the biggest impact. Enter payroll savings.
Why traditional benefits models are struggling
Right now, many organisations are wrestling with a few tough questions:
How do we support employees’ wellbeing without increasing spend?
How do we manage multiple benefit providers without adding admin strain?
How do we prove the impact of our benefits strategy to leadership?
At the same time, employees are feeling the squeeze. Cost-of-living pressures are leading to financial anxiety, higher absenteeism, and disengagement at work.
The result? Everyone’s looking for a better way forward.
What this means for your team
📉 Cut costs, not value
Unlike high-cost financial benefits (e.g. earned wage access, financial coaching or debt counselling services), payroll savings are significantly cheaper and drive immediate real wellbeing impact.
🧩 Easy implementation
We fit right into your existing payroll process, either through existing integrations with payroll systems, or with our simple deduction reports.
📈 Improve ROI and boost engagement
Access live dashboards and monthly reports showing how many employees are using the scheme, how much they’re saving, and how this supports retention, employee wellbeing and ESG goals.
Financial resilience isn't optional, it's essential
Employees don’t just want better benefits. They want benefits that work — that meet them where they are and help them build brighter financial futures.
We explored this in more detail during Debt Awareness Week, where we shared how even small savings can make a big difference to employees’ stress, productivity and wellbeing.
Payroll savings schemes aren’t a “nice to have” anymore. They’re a smart, scalable way to support your people and your business. In fact, 89% of employees said they want their employer to offer a payroll savings option - and most would actively use it
