Get the latest news on pension reforms
With major pension reforms looming, Employee Benefits Live is dedicating two days to addressing the issues HR and benefits professionals need to know about workplace pensions.
If you are relatively new to pensions or just want to find out more and brush up on the basics, visit our speaker sessions or drop-in clinics on either day of the conference. These will cover issues such as an update on the national employment savings trust (Nest) for employers, and selecting the right pension plan for your organisation.
Vance Kearney, vice president HR, EMEA at Oracle Corporation, who will be speaking about the business imperative of engaging staff in pensions, said: “We have an ageing population, people are living longer, and it is more important than ever for people to save for retirement. Certainly, with our situation with the national debt, we cannot rely on the government to come to the rescue and save us all.”
All sessions are free, but need to be booked in advance online.

Speaking about the importance of addressing health and wellbeing issues, Richard Ellis, director of corporate and social responsibility at Alliance Boots, said: “If people are fit, well and healthy, then they are at work and are being productive and contributing to the success of the business, which, in these difficult economic times, is imperative.”
