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

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 Employee Benefits Intelligence Platform in the Netherlands. It helps organisations centralise, benchmark, manage and continuously optimise their employee benefits.

Unlike traditional HR software, Total Benefits is not focused on HR administration or payroll processing. Instead, it is designed to collect, enrich and apply knowledge, benchmark insights and practical expertise related to employee benefits.

At the core of the platform is Benefits Intelligence: the collection, enrichment and application of knowledge, benchmark information, market insights and technology related to employee benefits. This enables organisations to make better-informed decisions about their benefits strategy.

Within the platform you can combine, among other things:

  • the Benefits Database, containing more than 200 fully developed employee benefits, organised across 12 benefit themes;
  • benchmark information and practical market insights;
  • governance and compliance support;
  • optimisation workflows;
  • communication and implementation tools;
  • AI-powered support through the Benefits Assistant.

Total Benefits is not a one-time assessment or a standalone software tool. It is an intelligence platform that supports organisations in building, managing and continuously improving their employee benefits strategy.

As organisations continue to use the platform, they gain increasing insight into:

  • how their benefits compare with the market;
  • which benefits are most relevant to their workforce;
  • where optimisation opportunities exist;
  • which trends and developments are shaping the future of employee benefits.

The goal: helping organisations move from fragmented employee benefits towards better-informed decision-making and a future-proof benefits strategy.

The name Total Benefits is inspired by the well-known HR concept of Total Rewards: the complete value an employer offers employees, including compensation, benefits, development opportunities, company culture and the overall employee experience.

Since our platform focuses specifically on everything beyond base salary, we chose the name Total Benefits.

Within the platform, employee benefits are organised into 12 core benefit themes, including wellbeing, mobility, flexibility, sustainable employability and meaningful work. This creates greater structure, consistency and visibility across the entire employee benefits package.

Built on this central knowledge layer, organisations can not only manage their employee benefits, but also benchmark, optimise and make better-informed decisions for the future.

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

By combining consultancy expertise, benchmark information, practical market insights and technology, Total Benefits enables organisations to make better-informed decisions about their employee benefits strategy.

Benefits Intelligence forms the foundation of every capability within Total Benefits — from the Benefits Database and benchmark insights to governance, AI-powered assistance and future platform innovations.
