Company benefits: putting your health and well being first

At SFS in the UK, we offer you a competitive package that ensures you are well equipped to be the best version of yourself.

We appreciate the need for our employees to take time to rest, recharge and spend quality time with their friends and family. We strongly encourage everyone to use their paid holiday time in the interests of their health and well being.

SFS provides a wide range of training opportunities that are both role-specific and aimed at boosting your career. Whether you would like to become a technical specialist or gain skills in strategic leadership, we offer you a range of high quality training options both locally and internationally.

We offer all employees a company pension scheme that is reviewed regularly to ensure it is both flexible and competitive in the market, and with employer contributions above the statutory requirements. Employees are able to adjust their pension contributions to suit their current requirements. Furthermore, all employees who are enrolled in the company pension scheme are offered the opportunity to attend a 1:1 pension surgery on an annual basis, where they can discuss their pension and receive tailored advice from financial experts.

We thrive on collaboration and fostering a close-knit culture through our site-based working arrangements. Occasionally, employees are permitted to work from home should they require it. We also offer flexibility around our core working hours.

Several opportunities are available throughout the year to engage and bond with colleagues outside the workplace, such as summer BBQs or taking part in local competitions such as ’Dragon Boat Racing’.

Subject to the discretion of the company, employees are entitled to participate annually in the profits of the company, based on earnings before interest and tax.

We offer you free parking on our company premises and the opportunity to use our EV charging stations.

We offer employees the opportunity to take part in the '“Ride to Work” scheme to promote a greener commute.

As part of the SFS Group, which has about 13,500 employees, we promote international exchange so that we can pursue ideas and projects together and move you and the Group forward.

It’s important to us that you feel comfortable at work. That’s why we invest in modern, customised and future-oriented workstations to protect and promote your health.

We have a range of well being benefits, such as access to an employee assistance programme, healthcare cash plan and certified mental health first-aiders, because our employees are important to us!

Where required, an appropriate work uniform will be issued for colleagues working in production and warehouse. This ensures that all team members maintain safety standards while performing their duties. Additionally, it helps in identifying staff easily within the workspace.
