Planning
We've helped some of the biggest businesses in Britain comply with their auto enrolment duties. Experience tells us your client's planning should involve all areas of their business. HR, Finance, Payroll and IT personnel, as well as any external software providers - all need to collaborate in the early stages.
Data
Complying with auto enrolment means dealing with large volumes of information. Inevitably this means clients need access to employee data. We've learnt that data integrity is a key aspect to assessment and communication of a successful project.
Therefore, as part of our systems readiness programme, we have:
- Ensured systems integrate with flexible benefit platforms
- Developed online tools that complement employer payroll and HR systems
- Undertaken robust testing of internal systems
- Improved our internal administration platform to increase efficiency
Communications
Effective implementation means employees are kept informed at important stages of the auto enrolment journey. Your clients shouldn't underestimate the time taken to produce effective communications.
Targeted, good quality communications will mean employees:
- Become engaged early on in the process
- Are aware of how auto enrolment affects them
- Begin to think about their long-term financial future
Assessment
Our experience has shown us that during early planning, it's important for your clients to clearly identify who's responsible for undertaking the employee eligibility assessment.
Will this be the payroll provider, employer, or us?
We can help your clients with their assessments from the outset, as well as on an ongoing basis.
