Professional services network Deloitte and aerospace firm Leonardo UK are among the employers shortlisted for Best pensions strategy at the Employee Benefits Awards 2025.
This award was created to recognise organisations that have developed a pensions strategy which best meets the needs of employees, whether that includes reviewing and changing existing pensions provision, introducing a new scheme to run alongside existing provision, or implementing workplace savings options for staff.
The full category shortlist is:
- BUUK Infrastructure
- Deloitte (UK)
- Leonardo UK
At last year’s ceremony, Take-Two Interactive Software won due to its pension scheme harmonisation project that was designed to meet its goal of providing a generous and attractive pension benefit to all employees.
The software firm had accumulated seven group personal pension (GPP) plans, and wanted to offer a single pension plan for all UK staff, harmonise pension contributions, and increase awareness and engagement with retirement saving.
After a market review and pension provider selection, it harmonised pensionable salary definitions and levelled up pension contributions so all employees were aligned. This involved an employer investment and an increase in pension contributions for some employees.
A Take-Two Interactive Software spokesperson said: “We have put a huge amount of work into thinking about our employees, what was important to them and how we can make a difference to their financial wellbeing and their futures. People are saving so much more; it’s making a tangible difference to our employees’ retirement journeys and savings.”
The Employee Benefits Awards, now in its 23rd year, will be held at the Honourable Artillery Company, London on Friday 27 June. The daytime event will include a drinks reception, three-course meal, entertainment and the chance to network with industry professionals.
