Iron Mountain, the global leader in information protection and storage services, has appointed Aon Consulting to develop and implement a flexible benefits programme for their employees in the UK. Aon Consulting already looks after Iron Mountain’s risk and healthcare benefits in Great Britain and across Europe.
Having undertaken an extensive review, including direct feedback from their employees, Iron Mountain has decided to expand the benefits they offer to employees. In addition to traditional benefits such as life assurance, critical illness dental insurance and the ability to buy and sell holidays, the company now also offers innovative benefits such as:
- Green Travel to Work, which reduces the cost of employee’s annual bus season tickets by saving Tax and National Insurance Contributions.
- SpreeFlex Retail, where employees can purchase a range of discounts at retailers.
- Cycle to Work, which allows employees to make significant savings on having the use of a new bicycle through a tax-and NI-free loan scheme.
Following the implementation of flexible benefits in the UK, Iron Mountain plans to roll out flex across Europe using the Staffcare Corporate Flex platform.
Gareth Ashley-Jones, head of flexible benefits at Aon Consulting said: “More and more companies are asking their HR or benefits teams to quantify the advantages of spending money on employee benefits, and through the use of the Corporate Flex platform, Iron Mountain will be able to quantify what they do. Iron Mountain’s review showed how important their benefits are to their employees; by implementing flex, the management were able to respond with an industry-leading solution.”
Paul Wilding, Reward Director, Iron Mountain Europe commented: “We have been working with Aon Consulting across Europe for many years on the Risk and Healthcare aspects of our employee benefits proposition. I have been impressed by the services we received, therefore using Aon to implement our flex programme was an obvious choice and I am looking forward to working with them to establish our first flexible benefits programme outside the US.”
