Stagecoach employees will receive access to a bespoke online portal, as well as a benefit book, offering thousands of retail discounts across numerous well-known high street shops. Through the new package, staff will also benefit from an employee assistance programme, which provides support to promote the wellbeing of staff, providing specialist guidance and assistance on a range of personal and work-related issues.

Personal Group will roll out the programme to all 24,000 employees through the Group’s established method of face-to-face meetings.

A final word

“Our staff are the key to everything we do and the success of our business is down to the hard work of our employees at every level across the UK. We are fortunate to have a committed and professional workforce. We hope this programme of benefits will be of use to them as well as demonstrating that we value their contribution in helping to deliver greener, smarter bus services to millions of people every day.” - Robert Montgomery, Managing Director, Stagecoach UK Bus.
