This research is a powerful insight into the mindset and thinking of employees in the UK today. It is valuable reading for any employer questioning how employees perceive and value pensions and other benefits provided, and then how to shape a benefit structure to obtain maximum value for the company, in attracting and retaining good people.

Time and again we read that communication is the key. This is much better delivered through face to face advice than any other method. Face to face advice leads to employee action and an understanding by the employee of the need to take personal responsibility particularly for their own retirement planning.
