Free online learning for employees
You’ve probably put a lot of time, money and effort into setting up your company pension scheme. Now you need to let your employees know that it’s there and the benefits it gives them. Easy? Well maybe not as easy as you’d think.
A 2007 report from Mintel showed that only 21% of employees were aware that their employer offered a pension scheme. This could mean that only one fifth of your workforce are planning for their retirement.
At AEGON Scottish Equitable we provide a number of ways to help you communicate and promote your pension scheme. One of the most effective ways is our pension scheme websites. These online sites provide guidance and information on exactly what a company pension is and the benefits it can bring.
We recently made some exciting new changes to our websites, including:
- New content – making the whole site part of a learning experience. We’ve focused on taking employees through a journey from ‘why save’ and ‘how to join’ to reviewing their savings and their options when they retire.
- Engaging tools - we’ve a range of calculators for all levels of pension knowledge. From an inflation buster calculator highlighting the future cost of living; a target benefits calulator showing what they’ll get at retirement or how much they need to save; to our investment risk profiler that helps employees understand their risk profile and then build an investment portfolio to match.
- Reason to return – with the addition of MyMoneyPal and mydiscountclub staff will want to come back to the site. MyMoneyPal provides generic financial information based on lifestyle and lifestages, increasing employees financial knowledge further. While mydiscountclub provides a long list of money saving benefits from holidays to hire cars and home improvements. There’s bound to be something they’ll use.
These sites are hosted on the AEGON Scottish Equitable network and maintained by us, meaning no extra work for you.
We offer generic sites for both group personal pension and stakeholder pension schemes. And the best thing is they’re completely free.
Why not take a look at one of the sites here.
If your employees don’t have access to a pensions scheme website, but you feel your company pension scheme would benefit from one, why not speak to your financial adviser about arranging one for you.
Do you already have a pension scheme website with us?
If you do, then you won’t miss out on these great improvements. We’ll be migrating your site to our new sites over the next 3-4 months and your website address will stay the same.
