Reaping the benefits: why switching to payrolling benefits in kind could be right for you

Although employers have had the option to account for tax payable on benefits-in-kind (BIK) through PAYE, payrolling of BIK remains one of the under-used tools in employers’ payroll kit. This informative webinar, hosted by Amanda Barnden, payroll sales manager at Ciphr, aims to demystify the BIK payrolling process, and weigh up the pros and cons of switching from P11Ds, which are submitted at the end of the tax year, to payrolling of benefits.

Mind the gap: aligning HR and L&D for better skills development

Skills development and talent retention are major (and often disconnected) discussion points across organisations of all sizes, in every industry. But could the solution to finding effective ways to develop and retain staff be a closer collaboration between HR and L&D teams? Digits’ Bradley Burgoyne and Andrea Matkin examine the possibilities of an aligned skills strategy, and what a ‘people strategy of the future’ might look like.
