Welcome to this weeks Life and Pensions Newsletter
Welcome to my weekly newsletter where I handpick prime job opportunities, exceptional candidates, and thought-provoking articles from the Life and Pensions sector. Whether you're on the lookout for your next career move, in pursuit of top-tier talent, or simply passionate about staying updated with industry insights, this newsletter is your go-to resource.
What's going on in L&P in Ireland?
This week I'd like to highlight a compelling article that caught my attention, shedding light on the state of personal pensions in the workforce. According to a recent report featured on RTE, an impressive 68% of workers now have pension coverage outside of the state pension. This statistic not only underlines the growing awareness and importance of personal financial planning among professionals but also signals a shift in how individuals are preparing for their future. The article delves into various aspects of this trend, including the implications for the workforce and the finance sector. I believe it's a must-read for anyone in our industry, offering valuable insights into the evolving landscape of pensions and retirement planning. You can explore the full article here.
