Some of the country's employees could be set to gain the ability to choose what benefits they receive from their companies this Christmas, according to one firm.
Workers may be able to choose between financial benefits like cheap shopping vouchers and the option to purchase time off, Aon Consulting has suggested.
Meanwhile, the company also notes that people might be given the chance to access loans to help them pay for green transportation such as bikes.
In a development that may provide a boost to people hoping to reduce credit card debt by making cost savings, Aon Consulting survey results have revealed that 20 per cent of employer participants may look to adopt flexible benefits.
Gareth Ashley-Jones, who acts as the organisation's head of flexible benefits, said: "Flexible benefits recognise that everyone has individual needs and that people may not, for example, value private healthcare but will value assistance paying for childcare."
Meanwhile, Caxton FX has recently suggested that those travelling over Christmas could make use of pre-paid currency cards.
