Independent pension support for employers
Since Automatic Enrolment legislation was introduced in 2012, employers with at least one employee have been required to provide a workplace pension scheme. Managing those responsibilities can take time, attention and ongoing administration, particularly as your workforce changes and regulatory duties continue.
Attivo helps employers manage their group pensions, auto enrolment duties and ongoing administration. Our regulated and qualified advisers can provide independent advice and guidance, helping you stay compliant while offering a valuable benefit to your employees.
What is a Group Pension scheme?
A Group Pension scheme is a workplace pension arranged by an employer to help employees save for retirement. As part of Automatic Enrolment duties, eligible employees must be enrolled into a Qualifying Workplace Pension Scheme, with contributions meeting the minimum requirements.
While Automatic Enrolment is a legal requirement, the pension scheme can also form an important part of the wider Employee Benefits package. With the right structure, communication and support, it can help employees feel more confident about their financial future and strengthen the overall value of what you offer as an employer.
How Attivo can support your Workplace Pension scheme
Our support can help you manage the ongoing responsibilities that come with running a Workplace Pension scheme, including:
- Monitoring employee ages and earnings.
- Managing requests to join or leave the scheme.
- Re-enrolling eligible employees.
- Re-declaring compliance with the Pensions Regulator every three years.
- Maintaining the correct contribution structure.
- Managing contribution increases.
- Certifying every 18 months following your Staging Date.
- Keeping clear and accurate records.
Why Workplace Pension support matters for employees
A Workplace Pension can play an important role in helping employees build long-term financial security. When employees understand how their scheme works, what contributions are paid, and why pension saving matters, they may feel more engaged with their benefits and better equipped to plan ahead.
Clear communication can also help employees appreciate the value of the pension support available to them. This can make your benefits package feel more meaningful and help position your organisation as an employer that cares about long-term wellbeing.
Why Workplace Pension support matters for your business
For employers, pension scheme Governance and Automatic Enrolment administration can be complex and time-consuming. Getting the right support in place can help reduce the administrative burden, support regulatory compliance and give you confidence that your ongoing duties are being managed effectively.
A well-managed Group Pension scheme can also enhance your wider recruitment and retention proposition. By offering a valuable workplace benefit and helping employees understand its importance, you can support a stronger benefits package and a more financially aware workforce.
Helping employees understand their pension benefits
Pension benefits are most effective when employees understand what is available to them and how it could support their long-term plans. Attivo can help you communicate the value of your Workplace Pension scheme in a clear, accessible way, helping employees feel more informed and engaged.
This might include employee support sessions, guidance around pension choices and practical information about how the scheme works. By making pension information easier to understand, you can help employees recognise the role their workplace pension may play in their future financial wellbeing.
