Trustees are enhancing their digital communications strategy to boost online member engagement, addressing the divide between online and offline members by exploring various engagement strategies. These include using incentives to encourage online participation, which has shown positive impacts on take-up rates. Analysis of member usage reveals that certain functionalities, such as accessing account information and managing pension plans, are particularly popular.
Future efforts to increase online engagement may be influenced by the evolving digital landscape, member preferences, and technological advancements.

By addressing these factors, trustees aim to create a more inclusive, engaging, and effective digital environment for managing pensions.
