Pensions and financial wellbeing - piecing it together, making it fun and unpacking the mystery

Engaging with your people on pensions and other financial matters is not easy. But it’s more important and relevant now than it ever has been. You can look after your people’s wellbeing. You can help them retire when and in the manner they want to, whilst minimising any risk to your organisation. We have worked with some of the UK’s major employers to help engage and educate their people on pensions and related matters.

McCloud 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.

Pre retirement and mid-career planning webinars

Online seminars delivered to groups of between 10-20 people. Bespoke content. Topics typically covered include preparing for your 25 year holiday, social and psychological considerations, pensions planning, consumer finance and state benefits.

Pensions tax planning sessions

Online seminars delivered in 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 or Lifetime Allowances. Individual follow up sessions include a written calculation.

Calculation support for individuals

Typically for members of the NHS Pension Scheme, Civil Service Pension Schemes and other public sector arrangements. We carry out individual calculations to help individuals navigate through their pension choices and plan better for their retirement. We incorporate 'What if?' planning, pensions tax and McCloud implications.

About Pen-gage

For most, 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.

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.

Thank you again you should feel really proud of yourself for hosting that Webinar.
