Employee Benefits Consulting in Germany
International companies in Germany face complex requirements when it comes to pension schemes and additional employee benefits. Particularly in highly competitive industries, where attracting and retaining talent is a major challenge, employees expect attractive benefit packages.
With our tailored employee benefits consulting, you gain a competitive edge in the “war for talent.” Profion also handles the entire administration and communication process – efficiently, in full legal compliance, and bilingually. This strengthens your employer’s brand while sustainably relieving the workload of your HR department.
The Importance of Employee Benefits in the German Labor Market
Attractive benefits such as occupational pension schemes (bAV) are a key factor in recruiting and retaining employees in Germany. They enhance an employer’s competitiveness and help attract and secure skilled professionals in the long term. In this way, companies position themselves successfully in a highly competitive labor market and create a positive work environment that promotes motivation and long-term employee satisfaction.
Typical Challenges for Companies
International companies in Germany often face complex legal requirements and administrative hurdles. Different tax regulations, limited market knowledge, and language barriers make the introduction and ongoing management of benefits programs more difficult. Without local expertise, risks, inefficient processes, and additional workload for HR teams can arise. Professional consulting and comprehensive support are therefore essential to ensure compliance while creating attractive benefits for employees.
Our Solutions and Consulting Services
We develop comprehensive, tailored employee benefits solutions aligned with your company’s objectives while taking industry
benchmarks into account.
Regardless of the number of employees you have in Germany, we offer exclusive special conditions and flexible, customized solutions – from one to 50,000 employees.
The pension and insurance products you receive through us:
Retirement provision
In times when the state/statutory pension is no longer sufficient, additional employer-funded retirement benefits are more important than ever.
Occupational disability insurance
Through an employer-sponsored scheme, you can set up comprehensive coverage for your employees with us – without additional medical examinations.
Survivor's benefits
Employees value the additional protection of their own families when the employer, as part of its duty of care, provides supplementary survivors’ coverage.
Accident insurance
In addition to company pension benefits, death and disability cover provides further financial protection for employees and their families against the consequences of serious accidents both at work and in their leisure time.
Benefit harmonization
We review, assess and consolidate existing, multiple insurance plans into a single unified and modern benefits scheme.
Company health insurance
As a supplementary health benefit taken out by the employer for employees, company health insurance provides additional cover alongside statutory health insurance or offers support for employees with private health insurance.
Our focus is on retirement plans, disability and survivor benefits, accident insurance, and additional occupational health insurance. Thanks to our own support fund, Euro-BetriebsPensionsFonds e.V. (EPF), employers remain flexible, independent, and balance-sheet neutral.
We handle the entire administration and communication process – in both German and English. This reduces the workload for HR departments, minimizes administrative effort, and ensures that benefit solutions are implemented in a legally compliant, efficient, and employee-friendly way.
If benefit schemes or structures already exist, we support you with analysis, evaluation, and harmonization. We help modernize existing concepts, ensure legal compliance, and integrate them into a unified, future-proof benefits system – even for smaller employee groups or following M&A processes.
