Research from Cass Business School has revealed 64% of businesses have invested in good employee benefits but have not told staff what they are entitled to. But who are these "silent type" firms?

Cass says the following types of workplaces are more likely to fall into the silent types category - offering a wide range of benefits, but ranking low in terms of communications:

- UK or EU-owned organisations. US-owned workplaces tend to be far better at communicating with staff about benefits

- Smaller organisations (with fewer than 50 employees)

- Non-union workplaces

- Companies in the manufacturing; electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply; water supply, sewerage and waste management and remediation services; construction; wholesale and retail trade, repair of motorcycles and motor vehicles; transportation and storage; information and communication; and financial and insurance activities
