Compiled from independent research with 234 top companies including; BT Group, HSBC, Marks and Spencer, Unilever and Wolseley UK, this year’s findings show that while there is a focus on streamlining benefits and efficiency gains, plans are afoot for large scale projects that tackle communication, financial and mental wellbeing, as well as for strategic transformations of technology. All eyes will be on measuring effectiveness to secure future funding into 2025.
Check out the full report for more benchmarking data, strategic responses to cost pressures, transformative spend areas, and practical solutions to overcome implementation barriers to best support your workforce.
About the research
Using REBA's extensive membership of 4,400 senior reward and benefits practitioners and a curated database of over 20,000 senior HR contacts, we conducted an online survey in January and February 2024: 234 organisations, representing an estimated 1.5 million employees, took part.
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 helps uncover 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.
