The question

A quick sparring session can make a big difference

Many HR teams have enough knowledge and capacity to shape their own benefits policy. Even so, moments come up during the year where an outside perspective is valuable.

A new scheme you are considering. A proposal that has to go to the board or the works council. A market development where you want to know what other employers are doing. Or simply the need for someone to hold an idea up to the light.

That is what Benefits On Call is for: not a large advisory project, but substantive support when you need it.

When is Benefits On Call right for you?

Extra expertise without bringing it in permanently

You do a lot yourselves

There is enough internal knowledge and ownership, but now and then specialist expertise is welcome.

A need for an outside view

Being able to move fast

Not having to start a separate advisory project or quote for every question.

Not sure where to start?

Total Benefits is the first benefits intelligence platform in the Netherlands. It brings an organisation’s entire benefits package together in one central environment and helps employers structure, compare, improve and monitor their benefits.

Unlike traditional HR software, Total Benefits is not focused on HR administration or payroll processing. The platform is dedicated entirely to employee benefits, combining information about your own benefits package with market data, practical insights and intelligence.

With Total Benefits, you can:

  • centrally document and manage your entire benefits package;
  • access a Benefits Database containing more than 200 different employee benefits across 12 themes;
  • compare benefits using available benchmark data;
  • identify opportunities and explore potential improvements;
  • monitor governance, accuracy and changes to your benefits;
  • compare information from different sources using Benefits Sync;
  • combine insights from benchmarks, trends and other data sources to make better-informed decisions.

The aim is not for organisations to simply offer more benefits. Total Benefits gives employers the information and context they need to make better, more informed decisions about their benefits package.

This creates one central and increasingly rich source of information about employee benefits, which can be used not only by HR, but also by HR Business Partners, recruitment, communications and management.

In short: Total Benefits helps you understand what you offer, how you compare and where opportunities or risks lie – so you can make informed decisions about what to do next.

The name Total Benefits is derived from the well-known HR concept of ‘Total Reward’: the total value an employer offers its employees, from salary and benefits to development, culture and the overall employee experience.

Because we focus specifically on everything beyond salary, we chose the name Total Benefits.

Within the platform, we look at employee benefits across twelve core themes, such as wellbeing, mobility, flexibility, sustainable employability and meaningful work. This creates structure and coherence across the entire benefits package.

From this central source of information, organisations can structure, compare, improve and monitor their employee benefits. By combining information about their own benefits package with benchmark data, practical insights and trends, organisations gain the intelligence they need to make better-informed decisions about their benefits.

Benefits Intelligence is the process of collecting, combining and applying knowledge, data and market insights related to employee benefits.

Total Benefits combines information about an organisation’s own benefits package with benchmark data, practical insights, trends and other relevant sources. This provides insight not only into what an organisation offers, but also how its benefits compare to the market, where opportunities or risks lie, and which developments are relevant.

Benefits Intelligence forms the foundation of Total Benefits. It helps organisations not only manage their employee benefits, but above all make better-informed and better-supported decisionsabout their benefits package.
