It’s easy to assume that offering employee benefits automatically means they’re effective—but are your benefits truly driving engagement and retention? 

In this episode, Karen explores the often-overlooked question: Are your employee benefits actually working for your people and your business? From underused EAPs to forgotten wellbeing perks, she unpacks why many programs fall short and how you can fix that—without necessarily spending more. 

You’ll learn: 

• The disconnect between leadership intention and employee experience 
• Surprising stats on what benefits really matter 
• How to audit your benefits using four key checkpoints: Utilisation, Awareness, Relevance, and Manager Engagement 
• Three low-effort, high-impact steps to get more ROI from your current benefits 
• Why relaunching, piloting, and manager training make all the difference 

Karen also shares practical examples from real businesses and why regular reviews can transform benefits from “tick-the-box” perks to culture-embedded tools that truly support your people.
