To approve the introduction of a scheme which will provide access to wellbeing benefits and high street discounts for staff and other groups such as foster carers and care leavers. The purpose of introducing a benefits scheme is to help the council have a more competitive recruitment offer to attract new recruits and to recognise and reward the valuable work our current staff do. The scheme will be provided by Reward Gateway and after initial set up costs of £5,000 will cost £13,500 a year to operate.
