Briefing: Benefits Trends for 2025 Research
This four-page briefing provides key insights from the REBA Benefits Trends for 2025 Reseach, published in partnership with Barnett Waddingham.
If you don’t have time to read the full report, this free download will enable you to read the key findings and actions from REBA’s Benefits Trends for 2025 Research, which considers the 14 workforce trends predicted to increase over the next five years.
Compiled from independent research with 296 top companies including CityFibre, Flutter Entertainment, Haleon, Monzo and Rolls-Royce SMR, the research identifies how digital transformation and legislative changes are set to reshape job design, pay and benefits.
It also reveals a focus on attracting and supporting younger workers against a backdrop of longer working lives, and an increase in preventative health interventions, as mental health remains a priority.
The full report will give you benchmarking data, strategic responses to legislation changes and cost pressures and practical solutions to evolve your benefits strategy over the next decade.
About the research
Using REBA’s extensive membership of 4,400 senior reward and benefits practitioners and a database of over 20,000 HR contacts, the research team conducted an online survey between August to September 2024. This achieved participation from 296 organisations, representing an estimated 1.4 million employees.
This approach ensured a broad and diverse set of data, reflecting a cross-section of employer sizes and industry sectors in the UK. REBA’s robust methodology is aimed at uncovering clear future trends and decision-making patterns among employers. This approach allows REBA to provide reliable insights, helping to guide better decisions in employee reward and benefits practices.

I’m Debi and I co-founded REBA in 2015, where I am a director. I enjoy sharing insights, data and information about employee benefits and pay via articles, research, guides and videos because I believe it helps so many employees receive better reward packages than they would if REBA didn’t distribute this knowledge. REBA has a great community and it makes my work fun to talk to the wide variety of people working in reward and benefits through our events, both large and small.
