Why the Cheshire Cat should be leading your communication strategy
When Alice asks the Cheshire Cat which way she should go, he says it “depends a good deal on where you want to get to”. When she says that she “doesn’t much care”, he points out that, in that case, “it doesn’t much matter which way you go”.
“Welcome, it’s lovely to meet you!” I say enthusiastically, studying the new face on my screen. With a lack of body language and visual cues to help me, I find myself searching my new colleague’s backdrop for clues to her personality and interests. It doesn’t give much away, but after spying a cat picture on the wall, I get the sneaking suspicion that we will get on just fine.
The Pension Schemes Act 2021 (the Act) introduces a requirement for occupational pension schemes to manage the effects of climate change as a financial risk, and to report on how they have done so in line with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations. A compliance framework regarding the new duties will be put in place, including additional powers being given to The Pensions Regulator (TPR).
Many trustees and employers are on a constant quest to capture the interest of their membership, and with good reason: there’s a clear correlation between improved member engagement and better member outcomes. With greater information and understanding, members are more likely to make appropriate decisions, keep their scheme up-to-date with the information it requires, and be less likely to fall victim to a scam. But schemes must be careful about the ‘hows’ and ‘whats’, particularly in the light of a couple of recent industry publications. So, how can we make sure employees are engaged and financially literate, whilst avoiding the risks inherent in doing so?
