Cadbury moves it voluntary benefits online

Cadbury Schweppes has moved its voluntary benefits scheme online to enable it to be easily updated.

It has also added retail vouchers, PC discounts and telephone offers to the plan.

The food and drink manufacturer hopes that by moving the scheme online in place of issuing a bi-annual paper-based brochure, it will be able to add new benefits on an ongoing basis and regularly inform its 7,000 staff of the changes.

Sally Tobin, UK employee benefits adviser, said: “We wanted to be able to keep the scheme fresh and update it on a regular basis, not every six months as we did with the brochures.”

The company will still issue a paper brochure to staff who are unable to access the internet at work or at home.
