Johnson Matthey has seen a 350% increase in employees sacrificing their annual bonus to pay 1% in additional voluntary contributions (AVCs) into their pension scheme.
The increase followed the launch of a personalised newsletter, which was sent out to all 3,500 active members of the global chemicals and precious metals firm’s defined benefit (DB) pension scheme.
The firm has also launched a pensions website and rebranded its pension scheme in conjunction with Shilling Communications.
