97% of young employees turn a blind eye to pensions

“This statistic is alarming! Learning why and how to save for the future should be very important for all employees, especially given that auto enrolment will be introduced later this year. In a study we conducted in 2011, only 21% of employers believe employees are making sufficient retirement savings. I expect younger employees may have different savings priorities and are not aware of the variety of workplace savings which can be on offer such as the Workplace ISA and share schemes, as well as pension. These types of workplace savings can help when saving either for the short, medium or long term. The key to understanding this is to provide financial education in the workplace.”
