Employee Benefits 1st February 2021 10:32 am
New research by employee benefits provider Edenred suggests staff are dissatisfied with the level of support they are getting from their organisation â with lockdown benefits branded ânot fit for purposeâ.
The research, which questioned 2,000 UK employees, found employers were seen to be falling short in the areas of reward (32%) and recognition (21%), for their staffâs work during the pandemic.
Dissatisfaction with reward and recognition was also mirrored by a sense of lack of support for mental health – identified by one-in-four respondents.
The study further found HR policy and employee benefits provision was out of step with what employees needed for their new working patterns. Just over a half of respondents said their employer was doing well in this area.

Eight in 10 workers (81%) say their employer has done a good job of supporting them over the past year, but many have reported a decline in their job satisfaction and work-life balance.
A quarter of employees wanted help with their mental wellbeing, while 17% needed help in adjusting to a return to the office in future, a survey commissioned by employee benefits firm Edenred found.
Wellbeing support
Almost two-thirds (64%) of the 2,000 people polled worked at home in the past 12 months – double the level identified in a poll in early 2020. Some 61% said they had worked outside their normal hours.
