Employee benefits and group schemes that go further
At RIVAL Wealth, we help businesses create employee benefits and group schemes that support both employee wellbeing and business outcomes. Financial stress is one of the most common challenges employees face, yet it is often overlooked in workplace wellbeing programmes. Through financial education workshops, presentations and guidance, we help employees make more informed financial decisions, build confidence and reduce financial stress. The result is a benefit that supports your people while contributing to a more engaged and productive workplace.
Financial Stress
It’s costing your business more than you think…
What employee benefits or group schemes could you offer?
What works for one business will not always work for another. The right approach depends on your team, your industry, and what people will actually understand and use. Some businesses focus on financial benefits such as insurance or KiwiSaver support, while others prioritise flexibility, wellbeing, financial education workshops or opportunities for development. The key is not what is offered in isolation, but how those benefits fit together and whether they genuinely support your team.
Financial wellbeing solutions for your team
How can workshop sessions support your team?
We offer small, interactive sessions that give people the chance to ask questions and relate the conversation back to their own situation, with sessions held in the workplace so they are easy to access.
They focus on the decisions people are already thinking about, how to manage their money, what to do with KiwiSaver, and whether their current approach is setting them up for the future.
These sessions help people step back and see how everything fits together, rather than treating each financial decision in isolation. Each participant takes away a practical workbook filled with useful tips, tools and resources to support their financial journey.
Do your employees understand their financial options?
Designed for larger groups, these sessions help employees better understand their financial situation and the decisions that can shape their future.
Covering topics such as managing money, KiwiSaver strategies, protecting income and retirement, these sessions help people connect the dots and see how their financial decisions work together.
The goal is to increase financial confidence, challenge common misconceptions and help employees make more informed financial decisions. Participants also receive a resource workbook that reinforces key concepts and provides practical information they can revisit in their own time.
What do employees actually value?
Flexibility & time
Extra annual leave: Giving employees more time to enjoy life’s important moments, whether that’s travelling, spending time with family or simply recharging.
Flexible & remote working options: Helping employees achieve a better balance between work and personal commitments through flexible hours and the ability to work remotely where appropriate.
Health & wellbeing support
Group insurance packages: Employer-supported cover that can help protect employees and their families when unexpected events occur.
Wellbeing initiatives: From gym memberships to wellbeing programmes, these benefits encourage healthier habits and support overall wellbeing both inside and outside of work.
Financial & future planning
Extra KiwiSaver contributions: Contributions that increase over time to reward loyalty and long-term commitment.
Recognition & reward programmes: Vouchers, incentives or other small rewards that recognise effort, celebrate achievements and acknowledge employee contributions.
Common employee benefit questions
What are employee benefits?
Employee benefits include both financial and non-financial support provided alongside salary, such as insurance, KiwiSaver contributions, wellbeing initiatives and financial education workshops. The most effective benefits are those that are understood, valued, and regularly used by your team.
What is a group scheme?
A group scheme is a workplace benefit offered to employees, often including insurance or financial support as part of the overall package.
What employee benefits do staff actually value?
This can vary, but flexibility, financial support, and wellbeing initiatives are often valued alongside salary, especially when they are easy to understand and use.
How do you choose the right employee benefits?
The right approach depends on your team, your business goals, and what will be understood and used by your employees. Talking this through can help shape a more practical and relevant approach.
