The Challenge

Trident – a well-respected B Corp certified building surveying and project management consultancy – came to us via referral from Karyn at HCR IFA in late 2024, looking for expert support with salary sacrifice pension schemes.

After our initial consultation, it became clear that Trident had a strong core benefits package, but wanted to elevate their offer. Their goal? More choice, more engagement, and more flexibility for their employee-owned company.

The Solution

Trident was committed to retaining Private Medical Insurance for all employees, but they also wanted to expand employee choice with a refreshed benefits strategy.

Here’s what Zhoosh delivered:

    • Salary sacrifice pension implementation
    • New Group Life Insurance scheme
    • Full Zhoosh platform deployment—with every employee receiving a £20 monthly flexible benefits allowance to spend on additional benefits

 

That £20 wasn’t a token gesture. It was a strategic move. Trident’s core benefits already covered a lot, so this monthly allowance acted as a supplement, giving employees the power to personalise their package fully.

Notably, Trident opted for no tiering between positions. Everyone got the same allowance.

THE IMPACT

We kept things simple, easy to implement and supportive:

  • Pre-launch email comms to all employees
  • Live platform & benefits walkthrough + Q&A
  • Zhoosh handled all employee queries post-launch (reducing pressure on Trident’s HR team)
  • Zhoosh followed up with Trident’s finance team to ensure smooth processing of benefit deductions beyond the £20 monthly allowance.

Louise Logan - Finance Director

The Zhoosh Platform is an easy-to-use, straightforward system. It's truly a great tool for our team, making managing their benefits simple and accessible. We've seen a noticeable uplift in how our colleagues interact with their options, all thanks to how effortless Zhoosh makes it.

HR FEEDBACK

HR Lead Louise Logan commented on how well the platform and benefits live onboarding session was received. She was pleasantly surprised that opening more benefits options to her team didn’t equal more administrative work. The Zhoosh team's hands-on support and Platform automation did the heavy lifting.
