Employee value, including the impact of emerging technologies like AI and evolving employee expectations, was discussed. The importance of a strong employee value proposition (EVP) for attracting and retaining talent was highlighted, noting changes in employee needs since the pandemic. A report detailed the significant expenditure on agency staff (£3 billion in 2023/24), linking this to issues such as burnout, turnover, and strained teams. Clarification was provided on trivial benefits, referencing 2016 HMRC legislation establishing clear limitations and a new benefits-in-kind category. Finally, the concept of absenteeism was defined, noting the lack of a precise definition and excluding authorized absences.
