Benefits and Rewards

Our employee benefit provision differs from country to country. The primary reason for this is statutory benefits vary across our European Offices. For information regarding the benefits provided in a specific country or office outside of the UK, please contact humanresources@watts-int.com.

In our UK offices our additional benefits include:

Holiday leave
Watts staff are entitled to a minimum of 23 days holiday. This starts at 25 days for Associates and 30 days for Directors.  In addition, all staff benefit from an additional “Watts day” usually provided during the Christmas and New Year period and the 8 public holidays. Please note that this entitlement is pro-rata for part time employees.

Personal Pension Scheme
We provide a Personal Pension scheme which all staff are able to join at anytime.  To enrol, the minimum employee contribution is 3% of basic salary. 

Car Allowance
A car allowance is paid in lieu of a company car provision. Car allowances are only provided to professional staff and the amount varies dependant upon grade.  This allowance is paid in addition to basic salary and is subject to tax and national insurance. 

Private Medical Healthcare
Watts staff are able to join the Private medical healthcare scheme with PruHealth. This is a voluntary benefit and premiums are deducted directly from the employee’s salary. Premiums’ vary dependant on age and type of cover (i.e. single, couple, family, etc).

Season ticket loans
Interest free travel season ticket loans are offered to all permanent staff. Loans are available to all new employees upon successful completion of their probationary period.

Gym membership
All staff are able to benefit from subsidised gym membership through LA Fitness. The employee contribution is £20 per month and provides access to all facilities and classes at LA Fitness Gyms across the UK.

Childcare vouchers
A parent and tax-friendly way to look after your children, childcare vouchers are available through Computershare, previously known as Busy Bees. This is a voluntary benefit which enables parents to pay for their childcare via a non taxable voucher system which is also exempt from national insurance.

Eye care vouchers
Watts staff are entitled to free eye tests under our eye care voucher scheme. Furthermore, if you do require spectacles for computer work (VDU), Watts will contribute to the cost of spectacles.

Professional membership and subscriptions
All professionally qualified staff and/or members of relevant professional bodies (such as the RICS) will have their annual membership fees paid for.

Work life balance

We aim to develop and promote a working environment that allows our staff to achieve a healthy balance of work and home life. When asked, most people say that one of the most enjoyable things about working at Watts is the people they work with. If you want to join a business that will not only provide you with job satisfaction but offers a good social life outside of work, we think we have what you’re looking for!

In addition to regular social activities, we organise team and office events throughout the year including a company-wide Annual Briefing and party. This is a fantastic opportunity for staff across our network of offices to interact and learn more about the vision for the business.

A number of our offices also have football, netball and cricket teams and participate in local leagues or competitions.
