Talking about mental health, it’s NOT A Red Card offence

As part of our ongoing commitment to help employers look after the mental wellbeing of their employees, we’ve launched our Red Report. Based on findings from our Not A Red Card forum in October, the report looks at the barriers that prevent people from speaking out about mental ill health in the workplace, and measures that employers can implement to overcome these.

Here’s to a future full of Saturdays

As a defined contribution pension provider with 2.7m members, we want to help enable our members to be financially engaged now, so we can put them on a path to future financial happiness. That’s why we’re developing an online financial wellbeing hub to deliver helpful and meaningful financial support to all members.

Gone aways

We currently have around 67,000 ‘gone away’ members who are missing out on important communications and updates from us. We’d like your help to reconnect with these members.

Minimum pension contributions will soon be increasing

You will be aware that by law, every employer must make increases to the minimum contributions for their automatic enrolment pension scheme, with effect from 6 April 2018 and then again from 6 April 2019. The way employers calculate and pay contributions into their pension scheme must be changed to reflect these increases. The minimum contribution will also increase for employees.

We’ve recently made some updates to our Maturity Pack and have also put together a short, personalised video to show members what their pension pot could be worth.
