XPS Client Communications

This week we've had the pleasure of welcoming Jamie Stewart and Marianne Thurgood to the team. Of course the Leeds contingent took the opportunity to go out for lunch (sadly without Lorrie Charles), and we even remembered to take a pic of the lovely time we had!

We had much more fun than we expected on Pensions Awareness Week - so much so that we've collected our five steps for taking control of your pension into a single easy document. In the majority of pension schemes, you're in charge of your own destiny. You choose how much to save, where to invest it and what to do when you're ready to stop working. So let's make sure that we're walking into the retirement we want, not drifting into disappointment. #BeXPS #PensionsAwareness #RetirementPlanning

Last week we welcomed Bethany Watkins to our team! It’s so exciting that Bethany has chosen us to start her journey into the exciting world of pensions communications! We’re looking forward to getting her involved in the wide range of work over the coming weeks and months. #BeXPS #Team #PensionCommunications

Hasn't Pensions Awareness week flown?? Day 5, and our final thought might not seem like a jolly one, but it's so important. Did you know that your loved ones might be due benefits from your pension scheme when you die? It's not always something we want to think about, but letting your pension provider know who you would want to get these benefits, and checking in to make sure your wishes are still the same, will make the process much easier should the worst happen. #XPS #PensionBenefits #NominatingBeneficiaries #MemberEngagement

It's Day 4 and we're still focusing on the money 🙂 Hopefully you've found all your pensions, registered for online access where possible and checked how much you've got. Now it's time to think about maximising your future. Did you know that most employers will match your contributions up to a point? It's worth checking you're getting the most out of this matching where you can. And if you already are, why not consider adding 1% extra to the amount you're saving. Every little helps! #BeXPS #PensionsAwareness #PensionContributions #SavingForYourFuture

Happy Wednesday! We're midway through Pensions Awareness Week and now it's time to talk about the MONEY. Pensions are all about helping members save enough money to have the retirement they want when they stop work. But as members, we can't just hope that will happen. We need to think about how much we need and how much we're saving so we can be confident retirement will be everything we want it to be. So now for Step 3! Checking how much you've saved... #BeXPS #PensionsAwareness #RetirementSavings #MemberEngagement

It's Day 2 of Pensions Awareness week. Hopefully you now know where all your pensions are so it's time for step 2 - registering for online access! Most pension arrangements will offer some kind of online access, and if you're someone that finds it more convenient to manage your money online then it's a quick step to help you keep track of your pension. And why not register a personal email address at the same time! That way you won't lose track of your pensions when you move house or change your job. #BeXPS #PensionsAwareness #ManagingYourMoney

Today is the first day of Pension Awareness Week! And what better time to get to grips with your pension? Every day this week we’re going to share a quick action you can take right now to feel more in control of your pension. The first, and arguably the most important, step is to note where all of your pensions are. Knowing where your savings are will help you know who to contact when you have any queries or need to update your details.

Happy Friday! As a very autumnal week draws to a close, Senior Communications Consultant Lorrie Charles has been sharing her thoughts on the most topical of topics, Consumer Duty! This is great summary of the principles, and an interesting insight into how we've met the challenges of applying these principles to our standard member communications. #XPS #ConsumerDuty #PensionCommunications #MemberEngagement #Accessibility #Inclusion

The world is a noisy place (for some of us even more so during the school holidays...) which means any communications we're putting out there have a lot to compete with. Senior Communications Consultant Clair Williams has spent some time amidst her noise thinking about how we can achieve that with our pensions communications. #XPS #PensionCommunications #MemberEngagement #ClientCommunications
