Aon Hewitt Pensions Training 2012

Pensions Training

Pensions are an important and complex area. Trustees and others involved with running pension arrangements require sufficient training to enable them to fulfill their roles effectively and efficiently.

Members of pension arrangements can also benefit from pre-retirement seminars, preparing them for the major change in lifestyle and income retirement brings.

Trustees

As a Trustee of an occupational pension scheme, the Pensions Regulator requires you to ensure you have the skills you need to exercise your functions as a Trustee properly.

The Pensions Regulator expects Trustees to be able to demonstrate their knowledge, keep a record of their training and is interviewing and monitoring Trustee boards to see what level of formal training Trustees are undertaking.

Aon Hewitt offers a range of training courses to enable Trustees to meet the requirements, and demonstrate they are “taking control”. Whether you are a new Trustee getting to grips with your role and its requirements, or an experienced Trustee maintaining your knowledge to comply with regulatory requirements, our courses will give you an understanding of the key issues.

Pensions Management Committees

Many employers operate contract based arrangements (Group Personal Pensions for example), and are increasingly establishing pensions management committees to ensure these arrangements are well-run. Similar to a board of Trustees, a management committee acts in an advisory capacity to the employer, though it has fewer legal obligations than apply to Trustees.

Aon Hewitt's pensions management committee training is designed specifically to meet the needs of management committees and HR professionals, identifying best practice and ensuring committee members can carry out their role efficiently.

Pre-retirement Seminars

Retirement usually represents a major change in lifestyle and income. Planning ahead – both financially and more broadly – is key to a solvent, enjoyable retirement.

Aon Hewitt's pre-retirement seminars will ensure that employees are equipped for the decisions and changes they need to make.

Further details of the courses are included in our brochure which is available here.

Most seminars take place at 10 Devonshire Square, London, EC2M 4YP (close to Liverpool Street Station). Our full-day and half-day seminars include lunch, refreshments and handouts. Seminars at other locations can be arranged upon request.

If you or a colleague is interested in attending one of our seminars you may reserve a place by registering online.

The courses have been designed specifically to cover the scope of The Pensions Regulator’s Code of Practice and are rooted firmly in the reality of day-to-day trusteeship. Each course includes training based on attendees’ own scheme documents, placing the theory into a real-life context.
