An employer’s story: delivering great pensions benefits for employees

After nearly 40 years in the workplace pension market, the majority of which was spent working in-house to run pension schemes for some of the UK's biggest employers, Paul Bird offers his insights into delivering great pension benefits for employees.

As part of Scottish Widows' Workplace Savings Podcast series, Robert Cochran, Scottish Widows’ innovation and engagement specialist hears from guest Paul Bird, who shares his story - from closing DB schemes to helping colleagues retire early.

Bird is proud to have walked the walk rather than just talked the talk and shares his story with us.

It's different when you have to walk past colleagues every day for whom you are enacting pension scheme decisions - an extra impetus to get it right.
