Quick answerEmployee benefits management for a Global Capability Center (GCC), also called a captive center, covers designing, benchmarking and administering the benefits the center offers its people in India: group health, life and accident insurance, leave policies, wellbeing programs and the day-to-day administration of enrollments and claims. A competitive, well-run package is a key lever for hiring and retention.

We build and run GCCs in the Tier 1 hubs of Mumbai, Pune, Gurgaon, Noida, Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangalore, Ahmedabad and Kolkata, and in the Tier 2 city of Gandhinagar.

Why it matters

Why employee benefits management matters for a GCC

In India's GCC talent market, salary gets candidates interested, and benefits often decide whether they join and stay. Health cover for families, flexible leave and wellbeing support are now expected, not extras.

Benefits also need to work in practice: easy enrollment, quick claims and answers when employees need them. Poorly run benefits erode trust even when the package looks good on paper.

Relevance Lab benchmarks your package against GCC peers, designs benefits that fit your global philosophy and budget, and administers them so employees get a good experience.
