Relative value analysis:

The Relative Value Analysis reports help companies to make fact-based decisions based on the objective quantifiable comparison of all their benefit plans (health and group, time loss, retirement and savings, company cars) – and their total remuneration package - versus other employers. They help you identify if your benefits are rich enough to attract top talent or conversely too rich and negatively affecting your bottom line.

Car Policy benchmarking:

Which kind of jobs receive which kind of cars in which countries? Are allowances offered as an alternative? Is private fuel paid? For many employees, cars are the single most expensive and valuable benefit they receive from their employer. There is also an intangible status conferred with a company car. Employers cannot afford to get it wrong.
