Pay Your Pension Some Attention

As the summer holidays come to a close and children and students return to classrooms across the country, the workplace also has a back to school feel and there's definitely a renewed energy to increase conversations and understanding about the importance of pensions and retirement planning.

With several industry initiatives being launched this week, we thought it would be useful to highlight the key details and resources, and links to the main Workplace Pensions providers. This is to help you signpost your employees to information about retirement planning, to improve pension engagement and open up discussions about financial wellbeing.

Please contact your dedicated Account Director or [email protected] if you'd like support with any of this information or to talk to us about your Workplace Pension. We offer 121s and online or onsite presentations.

Pay Your Pension Some Attention is an industry-wide initiative led by the Association of British Insurers (ABI) and the Pensions Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA) to boost people’s understanding of, and engagement with, pensions. Launching this week, it is being supported by all the main providers and focuses on three key themes to help your employees.

1. Find out if they have lost pension savings pots
2. Check what they'll get on retirement
3. Picture their future self and what they'll need

In association with Royal London and Pension Geeks, Pension Awareness Week returns for 2024 with a host of live on-line presentations, providing free, impartial and straightforward information about pensions and retirement planning.
