Why should you attend?
With the rise of 'semi-retirement' and part-time working, employers are being left with an ageing workforce who are financially incapable of leaving the working world.
Yet almost half of employers* have no ageing workforce strategy in place.
To make matters worse, retirement options are becoming increasingly complex, which means financial education is more important than ever, yet 57% of employers simply do not offer any form of financial education*.
Our experts will be on hand to answer important questions and will help you understand:
- The benefits of financial education and how to deliver a successful programme
- All about the latest retirement options – and how to provide for your employees
- How to communicate them effectively to your employees
- Effective strategies for managing the rise in ‘semi-retirement’
- How to bring it altogether and deliver workplace savings your employees (and your boss) will thank you for
Nathan Long - Senior Pension Analyst - will outline the impact for employers following the rise of semi-retirement within their workforce and the additional cost of the increase in contributions in April 2018 and 2019. He will cover future trends and what employers can do now.
Alastair Stuart-Hunt – Consultant – will cover effective communication within the workplace and the importance of having the right tools available.
Katie Hooper – Head of Retirement Service – will cover what the retirement options are and what trends are emerging following the pension freedoms.
Richard Turner – Pension Consultant – will provide examples of how we’ve used financial education to engage members. Alongside new ideas to help deliver a better return on investment for the employer.
Who should attend?
Anyone responsible for their workplace pension decisions.
This seminar will provide useful information and tips to help you make better business decisions - it is not personal advice. Tax and pension rules are subject to change.
This session is designed for companies with more than 50 employees and annual pension contributions of more than £500,000.
Why are we doing this? It's simple. First, we think the industry needs straightforward information. Second, it's our way of introducing our services to you. But don't worry; it really is a briefing session, not a pitch in disguise.
After all, our reputation is built on providing the best information – to both employers and employees.
Who are the speakers?
You can ask questions at any point and during the dedicated Panel Q&A session at the end.
