Proudly a Living Wage Employer
Wellbeing, reward and recognition are key to ensuring that you thrive both in and out of work. At Diligenta, we are committed to providing a fair, competitive and engaging total reward package to ensure that we attract and retain the best talent. Our current reward package includes:
Recognition & long service awards
We applaud going the ‘extra mile’ through our Recognition Scheme, which includes a wide range of appreciation cards and e-cheques that can be redeemed at a huge range of retailers and leisure providers. Our Long Service Awards celebrate your valued service with us, from 10 years onwards.
Your wellbeing
Our extensive wellbeing programme offers healthcare apps, resources and ongoing initiatives aimed at empowering you to take care of yourself. This includes an Employee Assistance Programme, accessible to employees and immediate family members.
Family friendly & other policies
Managing our varied lifestyles can be challenging, and we aim to support you through our Flexible Working, Carer’s and other family policies (Maternity, Paternity, Shared Parental, Adoption Leave).
Give As You Earn
Supporting your chosen charity through this GAYE scheme enables you to donate via monthly salary sacrifice – helping charities and people in our local communities.
Private healthcare
For senior roles, company funded single cover is available, and you can pay to add family members. It provides access to dental and medical cover, offering maximum flexibility with a choice of UK consultants and hospital locations. A suite of additional benefits, such as a virtual GP, mental health, cancer and women’s/men’s health pathways and menopause support are also available.
My Car Lease Scheme
Go ‘green’ and bag yourself an electric vehicle! Subject to eligibility criteria, you have the opportunity to lease up to two brand new cars over a 2 or 3 year period, and pay the lease charges via monthly payroll salary sacrifice payroll deductions.
Cycle to Work scheme
This makes cycling to work both accessible and affordable – as well as positively impacting your physical and mental wellbeing. This tax-efficient scheme enables you to swap part of your monthly salary to hire a cycle and/or accessories package for a period of 12 months, with the option to retain the equipment at the end.
Discount schemes
Helping your money go further - our Perks at Work online platform gives you access to a huge range of high street brands and premium retailers, as well as everyday supermarkets and holiday providers. You will also have exclusive access to the Jaguar Land Rover Employee Privilege Scheme which offers up to a 20% discount on selected range of new/approved JLR vehicles, subject to policy terms.
Pension & retirement planning
In line with statutory requirements, you will be auto-enrolled into the Diligenta Retirement Savings Plan, enabling you to build up a retirement pot. Your minimum contribution of 4.5% will be matched by the company, up to a maximum employer contribution of 6%. Deductions are made from monthly pay on a salary sacrifice basis, so it’s tax efficient too! From time to time, we also offer pension webinars to help you learn more about pensions and retirement planning.
Group income protection
If you are unable to work due to ill health for a period of 26 weeks or more, you may be eligible for this benefit which would provide up to 65% of your base salary, less a fixed deductible amount, until state pension age. Health rehabilitation services are also available, providing expert wellbeing support and helping you back to work. Policy terms and conditions apply.
Season ticket loans
Travelling to work can be a significant cost. Our Season Ticket policy provides interest-free loans as a means of making public transport travel costs. This allows you to repay the cost of your ticket over a designated period, via monthly salary deductions.
Time out
Life’s not all about work, and time out is essential. Your annual leave varies according to your grade, ranging from 23 - 25 days per year (pro rata for those working part-time), with bank holidays on top.
Bonus & incentives
Celebrating your and our business performance success is key, and depending on your role you may be eligible to participate in a non-contractual bonus or incentive scheme – details of which would be given to you upon joining.
Group life assurance
Financial protection for your nominated beneficiaries is provided through our Group Life Assurance should you die before reaching retirement. Subject to meeting any necessary eligibility criteria, you will have cover level of four times your base salary up to age 75.
