Choose Employee Benefits Advice tailored to Engineers’ needs
Engineering is a demanding profession. There may be irregular work patterns, irregular pay structures and high-pressure environments that mean your people need support that adapts to their needs.
If your teams travel frequently, work weekends or operate in different time zones, we can deliver support that works for your organisation.
Providing Employee Benefits is nothing without understanding. Financial Education can give your people greater financial confidence and help them value their Employee Benefits.
You will have a dedicated consultant to coordinate everything from Employee Benefits design to implementation, ensuring a seamless experience for HR and Operational teams.
Employee Retention strategies for Engineering Firms
We believe that when your people feel valued, they are less likely to look elsewhere for employment opportunities. Our Workforce Demographic Analysis lets you get ‘under the skin’ of your workforce and understand the needs of your people. We’ll work with you every step of the way from designing a strategy and execution.
76% of engineering employers struggle to recruit for key roles, with technical and specialist sustainability skills topping the list – a clear signal of a growing skills crisis. (The IET)

We’re here to help you develop a Workplace Strategy that supports your people for the challenges in their roles, no matter whether they’re on site, office-based, or in senior leadership.
Your Finance or HR team may manage Workplace Pensions and Employee Benefits on their own, or you may do this yourself. Our Corporate Financial Planning services provide an expert on your side who can point out opportunities and offer their know-how:
More than half of Engineering professionals would happily trade higher salaries for better benefits, more meaningful roles or improved work-life balance, a survey has suggested. Our Workplace team doesn’t just ask what the most common benefits are. We learn about your people and the Employee Benefits they actually value to find a cost-effective and engaging Employee Benefits Strategy.
Workplace pensions, Statutory Sick pay, Holiday pay, Maternity/Paternity leave must be provided by UK law.. Any additional benefits are optional, but in a competitive engineering market, organisations should consider whether their employee offering is helping them attract and retain skilled talent.
As an employer, you need to offer a Workplace Pension Scheme to your eligible employees. Just because it’s mandatory to offer auto enrolment, doesn’t mean it’s easy to set up and manage a Workplace Pension Scheme. Don’t risk being fined by The Pensions Regulator (TPR) – get support from Wren Sterling to help you pay pension contributions right and on time.
As Engineering firms compete for highly skilled individuals, Employees may receive ‘Benefits in Kind’ (non-cash perks or services provided by an employer to an employee for free or at a reduced cost), which are treated differently by HMRC. When designing these benefits, Engineering firms should consider how this will affect their employee’s Tax Planning.. Wren Sterling also offers Financial Advice for individuals – and can offer one-to-one sessions with Engineers in your company to support their Financial Planning.
