The new division launches at a pivotal moment. Recent data indicates that up to 56%* of Australian workers are open to new opportunities or considering a move within the next 12 months. In this climate of increased mobility and shifting workforce expectations, a strong and clearly defined employee value proposition (EVP) is essential for attracting and retaining talent.
SRG’s Employee Benefits offering will help address these shifting dynamics by providing bespoke programmes covering Life and Total and Permanent Disability, Salary Continuance, Private Medical Insurance, Health and Wellbeing Solutions, and market-leading Employee Assistance Programs (EAP). Together, these solutions not only help to mitigate risk for employees but also enhance their sense of security and belonging, creating a more resilient and committed workforce. By aligning benefits with employee needs and expectations, organisations can differentiate themselves in a competitive talent market and build a more sustainable, people-centric EVP.
The division is led by Travis Bailey, Head of Employee Benefits, alongside specialists Valentina Setiawan and Nicholas Chappell. The team will support both domestic and inbound multinational clients, drawing on SRG’s international network to deliver coordinated cross-border solutions.
Laurence Basell, Managing Director at SRG Australia, said:
“This launch is a key step in building a full-service specialist platform in Australia. Clients are looking for more than a broker, they want a partner who can help them compete for talent. Our Employee Benefits team brings together local expertise and global capability to deliver exactly that.”
Travis Bailey, Head of Employee Benefits at SRG Australia, added:
“Employee benefits are no longer a support function, they’re a strategic lever. Our focus is on helping clients design programmes that reflect their culture and respond to real workforce challenges, from wellbeing to retention.”
