Perks and benefits
Supporting you, your life and your career
At XPS, we believe great work starts with people who feel supported, valued and able to bring their whole selves to work.
Our benefits are designed to support you throughout your career — helping you look after your wellbeing, plan for the future and balance work with life outside it. They reflect our commitment to For all of you: recognising that everyone’s needs, circumstances and priorities are different.
Our approach
We offer a core benefits package for all colleagues, alongside a range of optional and flexible benefits that allow you to tailor support to what matters most to you.
Some benefits vary by role, location or grade, and certain benefits are discretionary or subject to eligibility criteria. We’re open about this because transparency matters.
Reward and financial security
At XPS, we recognise great work and help you build long‑term financial security. Our rewards package includes competitive pay, performance‑related bonuses and opportunities to progress. We also offer a generous pension, life assurance, income protection and financial wellbeing tools, giving you confidence and stability for the future.
Health and wellbeing
At XPS, your wellbeing truly matters to us. We offer a comprehensive range of health and wellbeing benefits designed to support your physical, mental and financial wellbeing at every stage of life. This includes access to our Employee Assistance Programme, mental health support, private medical options, enhanced family‑friendly policies and wellbeing resources you can use whenever you need them. We also run wellbeing campaigns, awareness events and local activities across our offices to help colleagues stay connected, supported and healthy throughout the year.
Looking after wellbeing isn’t an add‑on — it’s part of how we help our people do their best work.
Never choosing between family and work
We understand that caring for family can be one of life's biggest challenges, especially when juggling this with work.
This is why we offer flexible, compassionate policies that revolve around your needs. This includes enhanced parental leave and fertility support to agile working, menopause support, and time off for dependent.
Our current policies include but are not limited to:
- 26 weeks enhanced maternity, adoption and shared parental leave at full pay
- 4 weeks enhanced paternity leave at full pay
- Fostering leave
- Fertility treatment & IVF
- Agile working & flexible working
- Parental bereavement leave
- Menopause Policy
- Pregnancy and baby loss
- Time off for dependents
- Workplace Adjustment Policy
- Compassionate leave
- Holiday Trading opportunity
And we have an Employee Assistance Program which supports with all family friendly policies. Plus, employees can access flexible benefits though our benefits portal that can be tailored to their individual needs, for them and their families.
We also provide support for parents at every step, ensuring they don't have to compromise with either their children or their careers.
Our Parental Coaching programme sees us partner with expert coaches to help our people navigate parenthood both in and out of work.
Whether it’s your first child or a new addition to your growing family, we offer a safe, supportive space to share experiences, explore challenges and build resilience.
Benefits that support you and your community
At XPS, we offer a benefits package that helps you thrive at work and beyond. We also encourage everyone to make a difference in their local communities, with paid volunteering time, matched‑fundraising and support from our network of Community Champions. Whether it’s a cause close to your heart or a team initiative, we give you the time and tools to get involved.
Your extras
At XPS, we offer a range of extra benefits designed to give colleagues more flexibility, recognition and time back. Each year, everyone receives an XPS Day during the Christmas period — an additional day of paid leave to use however they choose, whether that’s recharging, spending time with family or pursuing personal interests. We also provide wellbeing perks, lifestyle discounts, and we celebrate our successes together with summer and Christmas events, making sure you feel valued and appreciated as part of the XPS Team.
Hear from our colleagues
The benefits here recognise that everyone’s life is different. I can choose the support that’s right for me, and that makes it easier to bring my best to work.
