Employee communication and counselling

The Pension Regulator’s principles of good scheme governance states that employee communication should be “designed and delivered to ensure members are able to make informed decisions about their retirement savings”.

These guidelines can place a considerable burden on employers. Without the right help, many businesses fail to communicate effectively with staff about pensions and other benefits, increasing the risk that employees will make decisions that are not in their financial interests.

• Communication design: producing tailored communications on the benefits of pension arrangements to employees
• Communication strategy: working with you to create a clear strategy around benefits and communications
• Financial education: from group sessions to one-to-one employee clinics and step-by-step guidance through pension scheme mechanics and legislative changes, we also touch on other aspects of financial planning
• Measuring engagement: testing whether employee understanding and appreciation has increased, and whether you’re getting a suitable return on your investment
