We are experts in UK public sector pension schemes

We help your employees piece together pensions and financial wellbeing

For most employees, their pension is their biggest asset and yet individuals rarely give this the focus it needs. The pensions industry has been trying to improve employee engagement for years. This has often led to information overload and disengagement.

In 2018 we created Pen-gage to piece it all together, unpack the mystery and make it fun.

We talk about retirement as the ’25 year holiday’ and use data to help people to understand the level of income they will need in retirement. We then explain how they can get there and enjoy it. Without trying to sell them anything. Get in touch to discuss how.

McCloud/Remedy Webinars

Online seminars delivered to groups of between 20-30 people. Objective is to educate affected scheme members on the McCloud judgement and how the public sector pensions remedy will impact their benefits.

Redundancy Support Webinars

Pension Changes

Pensions and the benefits they provide can often change, this may be due to changes in legislation, pension scheme rules or employment changes such as TUPE. We are experienced at helping individuals to understand how such changes can impact on their pension benefits and any actions that they wish to take.

Pensions Tax Webinars

Webinars delivered for groups of up to 10 people, or individual, one-to-one sessions. Targeted at those people impacted, or likely to be impacted, by the Annual Allowance. Individual follow-up sessions include a written calculation.

Pensions Tax Support

Possible pensions tax charges and actions can cause anxiety amongst your employees. In addition to our webinars, we can provide tailored individual support and guidance. Reviewing the personal circumstances and position of individuals and providing a comprehensive report of any actions required.

Money Matters

Whilst we are enthusiastic about pensions, we also want to ensure that your employees are well informed about wider money matters. We provide webinars and group sessions which look at other financial areas such as budget planning, savings, where to get other financial support and managing debt.

HR & Payroll Training

Your internal teams – such as HR and Payroll – will have tasks to undertake in respect of the pension scheme. We provide support and training sessions to help these teams understand not only the fundamental aspects of the pension scheme but also the processes which they need to follow to help to provide the best service to your employees.

What our clients say

I just wanted to write a thank you for your exceptional session about Civil Service pensions this morning. This is the first time that any information has been provided to me that explains how the civil service pensions work. Often people only get in touch to complain but I wanted to put in writing how helpful this session has been for me and the couple of colleagues I’ve since spoken to about it.

OMG it was soooo informative.  I don’t feel worried at all now I mean I wasn’t worried but I had no idea what was going on and you have just explained the change so well. Thank you again you should feel really proud of yourself for hosting that Webinar.

Laura was great, really great.  Thank you for that.  What a tangled web pension tax is ... thank heavens for people like you and Laura.

Pen-gage have provided a number of pensions information webinars for the Newcastle Hospitals staff over the last couple of years, every session was fully booked and attended, and we’ve received excellent feedback.

About Pen-gage

The pensions industry has been trying to improve engagement for years. This has often led to a focus on compliance and detail, which has actually disengaged people.

In 2018 we created Pen-gage to do it differently. And it’s not as hard as it seems. Our focus is to get people to take action, not to sell them anything.

We are successful because we make a difference. This led to our small firm being Highly Commended in the category of Financial Education Provider of the Year at the 2021 Workplace Savings & Benefit Awards.
