Companies occupying serviced offices in Cardiff may decide to offer a benefits package that allows employees to be flexible about how they work.
Jarrod Parker, head of consultants and actuaries at Alexander Forbes, said businesses will not experience a high level of engagement with their schemes designed to improve the working environment for their staff if they do not provide a variety of opportunities.
By being flexible, firms allow employees to construct a benefits programme that suits them, he stated.
"That's when it becomes really, really engaging and that's when it becomes a retention tool," Mr Parker noted, adding that the worst option firms - including those in offices to rent - can choose is to implement a scheme that is uniform across the company.
According to a study published by Hewitt Associates, 98 per cent of businesses offer childcare vouchers to their staff as part of a flexible benefit scheme, making it the most popular bonus offered, when pensions are excluded.
