National Employee Benefits Day
06 Apr 2022
Happy National Employee Benefits Day! We love celebrating our employees here at Mercedes-Benz South West as we enjoy working within a diverse workforce every day. Placing first for UK Automotive Best Companies to work for 2022 in the recent Best Companies Awards highlighted just how serious we take investing in our people, and how they are the driving force behind the success of the business.
To sustain employee engagement, satisfaction and productivity, we offer various valuable benefits our employees can enjoy. We have developed an online benefits portal, MyBenefits, which brings together our lifestyle, financial and health and wellbeing benefits together in one place.
Whether it’s putting more towards your future with an attractive pension plan or encouraging health and fitness with the cycle to work scheme, we offer lots of benefits our employees can enjoy.
Our HR Advisor, Emily, takes us through some of them in a bit more detail. You can watch the video below from our YouTube Channel or read the blog below:

Discounted Shopping
This online portal gives you free access to vouchers and discounts for everyday brands and everyday spends. With the cost of living crises impacting all of us, taking advantage of the discounts you can find for restaurants, supermarkets and shops on the MyBenefits+ hub can certainly help save you money throughout the week.
Pension Plan
Preparing you for your future. We offer an attractive pension plan provided by Scottish Widows. There is a minimum employee contribution of 5% of your annual salary and Mercedes-Benz South West will also contribute 3%, in order to help our employees save for retirement in a tax efficient way.
Car Benefit Scheme
Our Employees are entitled to lease a brand new vehicle via the Car Benefit Scheme. Beyond this, we also offer attractive prices for employees wishing to purchase a new, used or trade vehicle.
Employee Assistance Program
The EAP is a confidential service that is designed to provide emotional support and practical guidance for our employees and their immediate family. As a business we place a huge importance on our employee’s wellbeing and have a number of trained mental health first aiders across the business.
Salary Exchange Cycle to Work Scheme
Save cost, sustain your fitness and reduce your carbon footprint all at the same time. We provide a Cycle to Work Scheme which our employees can enjoy which allows you to purchase a brand-new bike and spread the cost over 12 months.
Employee Referral Scheme
As Mercedes-Benz South West continues to grow we’re continually on the hunt for various skillsets and personalities. We reward our employees for recommending new friends or family members work at the business.
And that’s just a handful of the long list of benefits we offer! All this on top of, Life Assurance Benefit, Specsavers Eye Care Vouchers, Employee of the Month Scheme, Flu vaccination vouchers, Discounted MOT and Servicing, and more. All of this contributes to why we won the UK Automotive Best Companies to work for 2022.
