Ep 31: Auto-enrolment an Employer’s Perspective

We are talking to business owner Joanne Lavelle and discussing the intricacies and impacts of auto-enrolment, or My Future Fund, from an employer’s perspective. Joanne shares her experience as a small business owner navigating the challenges of implementing a pension scheme for her staff. She emphasises the importance of expert guidance to facilitate the process effectively. Joanne  highlights the benefits of personalised pension plans for staff satisfaction and retention, contrasting them with standard auto-enrolment options.
We hope this episode offers insights for employers facing similar transitions, focusing on the significance of proactive pension planning and employee engagement.
