Today, Ireland stuggles with the cost and availability of labour in our growing economy. Replacing people is expensive as well as the damage to morale losing a team member or losing the business knowledge. Base pay is one component which attracts and keeps employees. Culture and employees feeling valued is another. We believe a well structured employee benefits program demonstrates a leadership focus on valuing their people. Helping you compete with other companies offering more than base pay and ensuring your employees feel wanted.

There is probably not one answer to this as you likely have differing types of employees. From young & single to mature with families. The best way is to ask them. Certainly healthcare benefits and investment/retirement planning services can be popular among most employees. Some value flexibility with holidays, while daycare support may help others. We have curated a wide variety of popular benefits for you to chose from. However, we can advise you to speak with your employees and add your own based on their feedback.

While adding a new employee benefits program does come with new tasks, we have built Hubex to address many of the manual tasks needed and we continually develop it to reduce administration. Yes, new tasks can be expected. Hopefully, that will be balanced with a happier and more valued workforce working hard on growing your business.

The hard return on investment (ROI) will be best calculated by looking at reduction in healthcare claims, abesenteeism and employee turnover. Soft ROI can be measure by looking at utilisation rates and employee engagement surveys. While monitoring recruitment offer acceptances rates can also be an indication of whether your total rewards approach (including benefits) has helped convince new people to join.

Absolutely, you can configure access based on employee bands and assign benefit allowances if needed.

Initially, there is work to configure and add the benefits. These can be expanded over time based on feedback. We get you started quickly with commonly available benefits. Once the system is up and running, communication to employees and approval/rejection of applications are the majority of the work. For PRSI / PAYE adjustments, we provide reports or integrations to support payroll adjustments as needed.

For Hubex Commuter sites employees register when they are interested in the benefit on a microsite link for the Company or via Single Sign On (SSO). For Hubex Benefits sites employees can be pre-loaded so they receive communications regarding the benefits. This can easily be managed via a bulk .CSV upload or adjusted manually? With Single Sign On (SSO), employees who no longer have a valid company email will no longer have access to their Hubex account.

Like any introduction of a new program, communication is essential. We can help with a site visit to help education but you can also help spread the word by asking employees about which benefits they might like. Following that, regular communication is key. We provide usage data to help orientate you about which benefits are resonating or regarding the general platform usage. If adoption is low, it is likely due to lack of awareness about their entitlements or poorly chosen benefit options.

We offer the choice for you to configure the platform to suit you company colours and add your company logo. However, we do not offer a white-label version. The Hubex logo will still be visible and web domains are still managed by Hubex.

We provide full onboarding to your selected administrator and we will organise any technical or security setup topics with your IT team. The platform is very intuitive and easy to use. With a couple of hours practice, you'll be away. We are always available to help out if you get stuck.
