Entegria wins contract for GL Hearn flexible benefits scheme

Entegria, one of the UKís employee benefits consultancies, has won the contract to design and implement a flexible benefits scheme for GL Hearn Property Consultants. GL Hearn is a leading commercial property consultant with 185 employees in seven UK offices.

The flexible benefits scheme offers GL Hearnís employees the choice of a wide range of protection benefits, including medical screening and private medical insurance. The scheme uses web-based technology, which allows employees to log on anytime using the internet. Employees can access further benefits, including childcare vouchers, flexible holidays, a wine club and gym membership.

Arif Kamal, Finance Director at GL Hearn, said:

ìG L Hearn is committed to offering our employees high quality, added-value benefits. We researched the market to ensure we selected a scheme provider offering strong design, administration and excellent employee communications.

ìPrior to the implementation of the online system, we had been using a limited paper-based flex scheme for 6 years. As well as the need to move with the times by adopting an online system, the strength of the system was a main reason for using Entegria. We were particularly impressed by Entegriaís success at building long-term relationships with clients and their commitment to providing excellent customer services.î

Clive Cripps, Director of Flexible Benefits Practice, Entegria, said:

ìEntegria has designed a flexible, robust benefits solution for GL Hearn. The scheme offers some unusual added-value benefits, such as a wine club where employees can access discounted premium wines.î

ìOur rigorous approach to scheme design and implementation has been honed by our committed team, who have built a successful track record. This approach was recognised this year at the Employee rewards and Benefits Awards 2006, where Entegria was awarded ëFlexible benefits adviser of the year.î
