Rewarding your commitment

There are all kinds of reasons why people decide they want to join Mars. Obviously, financial rewards are an enticing incentive. But look beyond our highly competitive salaries for a few seconds, and you’ll find there are plenty more fantastic benefits to discover.

Rewards to suit you

We’ve already mentioned the unique levels of freedom and autonomy you’ll enjoy here, as well as the excellent training, learning and development we can offer. The truth is, different things motivate different people. That’s why we’ve created Total Rewards - an outstanding benefits package devised to reflect your unique contribution and lifestyle needs.

There are obvious things such as our contributory pension scheme in which we’ll match up to 18% of an Associate’s annual salary in contributions. Beyond this there are less-expected perks such as bonuses and service-related awards. Indeed, Total Rewards is as much about the benefits you don’t see as the ones you do and here’s a quick rundown on a few of them:

Recognition

We’re committed to keeping every one of our Associates happy and engaged with their career at Mars. But how do we make sure we go about it in the right way? Quite simple really – we use feedback gathered from our annual survey and ask Associates to participate in local action planning. We also offer reward and recognition programmes to highlight our Associates' part in our success. Be it individual recognition for significant contributions, or Service Awards to recognise contributions to Mars over time, you can be sure your efforts won’t go unnoticed at Mars.

Healthcare

Looking after our Associates is one of our main priorities here at Mars. In order to do so, we’ve set up a number of health and welfare services, such as the Occupational Health Service, and a dedicated Associate helpline. These are here to help ensure your general wellbeing. We’re also able to provide private health insurance, disability cover (depending on your eligibility), and life assurance for all our Associates. These are there to help you general wellbeing.

Holidays

The added freedom our Associates enjoy extends to outside of the workplace too, thanks to our very competitive holiday allowance. What’s more, if you don’t end up taking all of your holiday, we’ll give you the chance to exchange some of your left over days for cash.

Flexible working

We really are all about freedom and flexibility – and not just when it comes to letting you make decisions and have a say in how we work. Our flexible working arrangements are genuine proof of this. They’ll help us help you achieve a work/life balance that suits you, wherever possible.

The environment

Looking after the planet is something we’re all responsible for. And we’ve been thinking about the world around us long before corporate responsibility became fashionable. Sustainability in the resources that we use, the emissions and waste we produce, and also the local community projects we support are all extremely important to us.

What’s more, we’ve a range of practical programmes in our factories and offices to reduce packaging and improve our carbon footprint. And we’ll encourage you to get involved in all these initiatives, so that you can feel safe in the knowledge you’re safeguarding the world for generations to come.

And there's more

This is just a brief overview. When you actually join us, we’ll make sure you completely understand your benefits and are able to take full advantage of them. We’ll give you your own Total Rewards package and let you see for yourself what a great array of advantages it offers.
