Employee Benefits

Employee Benefits

At the HTA, we are always looking to improve our staff benefits and will happily receive any recommendations from our staff. Below is our current list of employee benefits.

Annual Leave

25 days annual leave entitlement with the option to buy additional holiday via a salary sacrifice scheme.

Hybrid working

Like most employers, we recognise the benefits of being flexible about your work location, but also value the organic collaboration that happens within the office environment. We expect employees to come into the office a minimum of 2 days a week to meet and work with their teams.

Pension scheme

From your first day, you are auto enrolled into our pension scheme administered by the HTA. All employees are eligible to join the pension scheme and will have access to free pension advice.

Life Assurance

If the worst should happen, it’s important that those close to you have some protection, so we cover all employees at 3 x basic salary for Death in Service.

Cycle to work scheme

A tax efficient loan scheme is available for our employees to purchase a bicycle (for the purposes of getting to and from work). This is open once a year to our employees, and you get to choose your own bike!

MotorSave scheme

Save on the costs of motoring by covering the costs of car maintenance over 12 regular monthly payments, reducing your National Insurance contribution.

Employee recognition

Say thank you, well done and congratulations to your colleagues, and receive recognition from them in our peer-to-peer recognition portal.

Annual flu vaccination

We are aware of the risks that Influenza can cause so we offer every employee a flu voucher if they'd like one.

Discounted National Garden Gift Vouchers

A 10% discount when purchasing our national garden gift vouchers. Great for yourself, or when buying for a family member as a gift.

Westfield (Health Care Cash-Plan)

Employee wellbeing is important to us which is why we pay for all of our employees to receive a basic level of Health Cover. That cover can be enhanced through choice of the employee. The cover includes up to 21 benefits and services including: Dental, Optical, Chiropody, Counselling & Chiropractic therapy services.

Discount portals

Save at a range of retailers through our 2 discount portals – earn cashback or buy a gift card/instant voucher at a reduced price!

Free fruit

We understand the importance of looking after everyone's wellbeing. Therefore, we receive a weekly fruit delivery for our staff to enjoy free of charge.

Flexitime

We ask our full-time employees to work a 35-hour week. Our office hours are 08:30-17:30, with core hours of 10:00 – 16:00.

Dress down Friday

We really enjoy our Fridays here at Horticulture House, so to celebrate, we dress down for the day.
