The 2026 Benefits Squeeze: What HR Leaders Are Cutting, Protecting, & Rethinking

NI increases, rising employment costs, and growing pressure on reward budgets are forcing HR teams to make tougher benefits decisions in 2026.

At the same time, employees expect more choice, more flexibility and better support across financial wellbeing, pensions, family, and health. So, where are employers investing, and what’s being quietly scaled back?

Join a live discussion with UK reward and benefits specialists and find out:

  • Where benefits budgets are shifting in 2026

  • How HR teams are managing rising cost pressure

  • The growing role of salary sacrifice and financial wellbeing

  • Which benefits are driving engagement and retention

  • How employers are delivering more personalised support without increasing spend

Based on a 2026 study of hundreds of UK HR professionals, this research-backed, practical session will help you to handle the strategies, trade-offs, and trends that will make or break your benefits and reward strategy this year.

Partnered with The Electric Car Scheme

Switching to an electric car is one of the most significant ways you can make a positive change towards net zero. We want to make it cheaper and easier than any other option. The Electric Car Scheme makes this possible, allowing employees to save 20-50% on any electric car by reducing your salary in exchange for an electric car as a benefit. This makes electric cars an affordable option for everyone.

Each person wants to make choices to achieve a net zero future. People are limited by information, access, price and complexity - this is slowing down progress globally. The pace of achieving net-zero is a huge problem because each tonne of carbon emissions contributes to climate change for centuries.

At The Electric Car Scheme, our goal is to make net zero the obvious choice.
