Pension Benefit Design
Background
Pension benefit design is a vital ingredient in matching corporate aims with employee aspirations. If there is a mismatch then corporate objectives will be more difficult to achieve. For example, recruitment and retention of key staff may be prejudiced.
Key Issues:
- Is your benefit structure designed to help you recruit and retain the type of individuals you need to achieve your business aims?
- Is your existing pension plan under-appreciated by the members?
- Do you tend to adopt a ‘paternalistic’ approach to pensions provision, or a ‘laissez faire’ approach?
- Have you considered the full spectrum of benefit designs, and their
implications for cost and risk?
- Do different benefit designs best match different segments of your workforce?
