5. The Taxback Group
Taxback provides global tax-return filing and tax refund services. It recognises that talent retention is one of the challenges companies face so it implemented an employee share plan which the company reckons is one of the strongest benefits that companies use to retain and incentivise their key staff. It has a strong corporate social responsibility (CSR) approach where employees can donate their time and money to relief efforts at home and abroad. These initiatives are also aided by the use of an employee-led and managed CSR committee, which gives people a chance to make a difference and have real impact within their community.
