Core benefits are available to all of our colleagues, some of which may require you to have been with our company for a period of time, and include a pension, life assurance, personal accident insurance, free shares, a share plan and many other attractive incentives.

You'll also receive a series of flexible benefits, those that you can trade, increase or decrease to fit your life style. For example, you might like an additional 2 days holiday each year, perhaps you'd prefer dental insurance or maybe even a contribution to your gym membership.

Then there are the discounts available on items such as CDs, DVDs, theme parks, holidays, electrical goods and home insurance, not forgetting our Colleague Assistance Programme - our personal advice service that is available to all our people and immediate family.

And this is more than just boasting, however. In fact, we've won the DWF Employer Award 2007 for Best Employee Benefits Communications and the HR Excellence Award 2007 for Most Effective Benefits Programme.

Of course, this means we do expect you to work hard and perform well, but we also believe you should always enjoy exceptional benefits to recognise your efforts.
