No benefits audit, no context
UK businesses lose an estimated £15 billion every year on employee perks that don't align with what staff actually value. No structured benefits review means there is no way to assess what's working and what's missing.
Stop Guessing. Start Knowing.
Know Exactly Where Your Employee Benefits Stand
PerkIQ gives growing employers a clear picture of where their employee benefits stand, what's missing, and exactly what to fix next, in under 5 minutes.
Most UK Employers Are Flying Blind on Employee Benefits
Employee benefits are one of the most powerful tools in your talent strategy. Without a proper benefits review process, you're spending on instinct and hoping for the best.
Spending on the wrong perks
Employers who get workplace wellbeing right see £4.70 returned for every £1 invested. Most SMEs are nowhere near that, because benefits management decisions are driven by habit, not data.
No system to improve
Sickness absence is at a 15-year high. 104.9 million workdays lost in 2023 alone, and most SMEs have no structured way to respond, prioritise, or track progress.

How it works
From Benefits Guesswork to a Clear Benefits Strategy in 3 Steps
Three steps to audit your employee benefits, understand your position, and know exactly what to fix next.

- Covers 7 benefit categories, including workplace wellbeing, financial perks and flexibility
- Works for SMEs and mid-market businesses from 5 to 500+ employees

Step 2

Your Healthcheck generates an instant employee benefits score across all 7 categories, assessed against our best-practice framework. You'll see clearly what's strong, what's adequate, and where the real gaps are.

You're losing candidates to bigger competitors on benefits
Replacing a single employee costs an average of £30,614 (Oxford Economics / Unum). With UK staff turnover running at 35% annually, benefits gaps aren't just an HR problem - they're a direct hit to your margins. You can't match enterprise salaries, but you can compete smarter.

Significant spend. No data on what it's actually delivering
Benefits spend increases year on year with no performance framework. Worse: 15% of UK SMEs are currently non-compliant with pension auto-enrolment legislation. An untracked liability sitting inside most benefits programmes. PerkIQ surfaces both the spend efficiency and the compliance gaps.

Why PerkIQ
Why I Built PerkIQ
Over three and a half years in employee benefits, I had more than 750 conversations with UK businesses about what they offered their people.
Almost none of them could tell me whether their benefits were actually working.
What I saw instead was a cycle. Pick the cheapest option that looks like it fills a gap. Wait twelve months. Start again. Not because businesses were careless, but because no structured way existed to evaluate what was right for their people.
Nobody had built a tool to fix it. So I did.
"Every employee deserves a benefits package built around real value, not guesswork."
