Guidance questions leave employers wavering on workplace education

Jonathan Watts-Lay, Director, WEALTH at work, has spoken to Pensions Expert in regards to the ‘overwhelming’ enquiries from employers concerned their staff will not be fully prepared for retirement.

Jonathan Watts-Lay said: “The one good thing about the guidance guarantee is that it’s acted as a catalyst for companies to say, ‘Hold on a minute, we’ve never really got our financial education programme off the ground – we’re not really sure the guidance guarantee is going to do it, but it has made us think we should be doing it ourselves as an employer.”

Jonathan Watts-Lay added members could be left “in limbo” by the guidance, as many conversations will end with the member having to go back to their employer to get further information.
