Top practical tips to support workplace pensions
1. Get your workers off to a good start
Show you’re an employer that cares and help your new workers appreciate the great pension scheme you provide by telling them all about it. Use welcome presentations, joining emails and contract inserts to get the message across. There are also lots of other communication ideas in our toolkit.
2. Talk to all your staff in the right way
Your employees trust you and expect you to talk to them about their pension savings. We’ve done the research and know what works, and what doesn’t, when it comes to communicating about pensions. Watch our short videos and find your voice.
3. Help your workers in later life
Employees can feel vulnerable and confused as they approach retirement and may look to you for support. Providing materials to help explain their retirement options, and where they can go for trusted guidance is key.
4. Understand fund performance
You trust your pension provider to grow the pension contributions you and your employees pay in, so why not check how their investment team are getting on? Lookout for investment reports from your provider to find out how funds are performing, as well as how they are investing contributions, particularly from a responsible investment perspective.
5. Make your workers feel good about their pensions
Employees want to hear how their pension savings are benefitting the world. And it’s easy to tell them. Our toolkit is packed with ready-made material you can use to explain how their money is invested to protect their pension pot and the planet.
