Aon: Value of Perks Lost on U.K. Workers

According to pension, benefits and human resources consultancy Aon Consulting, 98 percent of British workers underestimate the true amount that employers spend on benefits. In Aon's national survey of 1,300 working adults, when asked how much they think their company spends on their benefits as a percentage of their individual salary, 69 percent said they thought it was no more than 10 percent. In reality, British companies typically contribute between 20 and 40 percent of salary in benefits.
