The question

Where are the opportunities in your current package?

You do not always have to redesign the entire benefits package to make progress. Sometimes you mainly want to know: where do we stand, what are we already doing well and where are we missing opportunities?

With the Benefits Scan we examine your current package and give you an independent picture of its strengths, points of attention and possible improvements in a short time.

When is the Benefits Scan right for you?

In need of a fresh perspective?

No current picture

The package has not been looked at from an outside perspective for a while.

Curious about the market

You want to know how the package compares to other employers.

Looking for quick wins

You want to improve, but not start a large change programme straight away.

Internal discussion

HR, management or the works council needs independent input for further choices.

A starting point for the future

You want to know where the biggest opportunities are before deciding on next steps.

Not sure where to start?

In a short call we look at which approach fits your organisation.

Insight into relevant market developments and benchmarks

Concrete optimisation opportunities

Process & timeline

Quickly from analysis to advice

The Benefits Scan is deliberately compact. Up front we agree which documentation is needed and which specific questions or concerns you have. We then run the analysis and discuss the main findings and recommendations.

4–6weeks, from the moment the documents are supplied

The exact timeline also depends on the size and complexity of the package and how quickly information and feedback are supplied.

Do you have a specific deadline? Then we agree up front on what is feasible.

Indicative investment

What does a Benefits Scan cost?

The Benefits Scan has a clear, bounded scope. The investment mainly depends on the size and complexity of the benefits package. Up front we agree clearly on what we analyse and what you receive from us.

Frequently asked questions about Benefits Scan

The Benefits Scan is a compact analysis that shows where the current benefits package stands and where the opportunities are. The Primary Approach goes further: there we guide a broader revision of the package, including further development, decision-making and implementation.

No. We use the available documentation to map the package. Up front we agree which information we need for that.

Yes. We use our Benefits Database, available benchmark information and market insights to assess the package from a broader perspective.

No. We also look at the content and design of individual schemes, the coherence of the package and the way benefits are recorded and communicated.

The Benefits Scan is fundamentally a compact analysis of the existing benefits package. Employee participation and involving the works council are therefore not a standard part of the scan. If you do want this, we can of course discuss how to add it.

We translate our findings into concrete optimisation opportunities and priorities. So after the scan you know not only where the package stands, but also where the main opportunities are and which next steps are possible.

Yes. You can act on the recommendations yourself or involve Not Secondary in the further development and implementation. If a broader revision of the package turns out to be desirable, the Primary Approach can be a logical follow-up. It can also become clear beforehand that the Benefits Scan does not fit your question well enough and the Primary Approach is the better choice straight away.

Curious where the opportunities are in your benefits?

With the Benefits Scan you quickly gain insight into what is going well, where the opportunities are and which next steps can have the most effect.

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.
