Rewards & Benefits

Thrive in the workplace as well as life

A healthy work-life balance is essential to our employees wellbeing and job satisfaction. We recognise and reward the value our employees bring and provide a wealth of benefits to support their financial, emotional and physical wellbeing.

Our rewards and benefits
 
Rewarding your contribution

We offer fair and balanced salaries that reflect industry standards and individual contributions. Your salary forms the basis for your Total Reward offering which includes an annual bonus payment. This recognises the contribution you make to the company, team, as well as your performance and development goals.

 
Supporting your health and wellbeing

We aim to create a workplace where our people can be their best. We provide medical coverage, employee assistance programmes and support for fertility, parenthood, gender dysphoria and menopause. We understand long-term security is important for our people, so we provide a comprehensive retirement scheme, life insurance and income protection.

 
Bringing balance to your life

Being able to balance work and personal life enables our people to thrive. We offer a generous annual leave allowance alongside various comprehensive leave policies, providing support through big life moments. We understand our people have different commitments, and offer different flexible working options e.g., hybrid working and short-term international remote working.

Losing my daughter was absolutely devastating. However, SMBC’s Stillbirth Policy helped me to feel fully supported throughout the process and I’m grateful they offered me a gradual phased return to work.

SMBC’s paid carer’s leave allows me to support my wife who suffers from endometriosis and adenomyosis – both are chronic conditions that can flare up at any time and require full-time care and support for short periods.

In 2022, I experienced sudden lower back pain. Through SMBC’s private medical insurance, I organised specialist appointments which led to my recovery and helped me get back to my day-to-day.
