Aon's DC & Financial Wellbeing Virtual Conference

The DC & Financial Wellbeing Virtual Conference will take place over the course of three weeks with each of the agenda items being recorded for those who are not able to join the live session.

Join us to hear some of Aon’s latest thinking as well as what others are doing across different aspects of DC pensions and Financial Wellbeing, with the all-important aim to improve outcomes.

This conference takes a truly member focussed approach and explores how we can support and influence them in making decisions to set and achieve their own retirement target based on their personal financial situation.

Get the measure of objectives

Virtual Conference

11:45am / 12:30pm

Speakers: John Foster, Principal Consultant & Steven Leigh, Senior Consultant

Before you can understand how your scheme measures up, you have to have a set of objectives against which to measure success.

In this session we explore the strategic trends in DC pensions, what different objectives might be set by schemes to ensure they are providing good outcomes and value for members and options in terms of how they might achieve those objectives.

As part of this we will consider how schemes might factor in member's own needs and preferences.

Engagement - what's new?

Virtual Conference

2:15pm / 3:00pm

Speakers: Helen Payne, Principal, Memeber Experience & Mark Carmen, Client Director, Engagement Innovations

Reflecting the hidden mindsets causing poor engagement.

Aon's recent DC survey shows that engagement with pensions remains epically low.

To uncover why this is, we need to delve behind what members really think and feel about their retirement savings, and the barriers that are preventing good decisions.

Using technology we can unlock insights into members behaviour as never before, and create new ways to tailor communications to our ever evolving audience of scheme members.

It's not all about pensions

Virtual Conference

9:45am / 10:30am

Speakers: Karina Klimaszewski, Senior Consultant & Oliver Walker, Senior Partner

COVID 19 is causing many employees to reflect on how they manage their money, not just in terms of retirement planning, but also their short term savings, debt management and financial protection for themselves and their families. Employers are responding to this with a significant uptick in those wanting to help their employees develop healthy financial habits.

In this session we will look at how pensions fits within employees financial priorities and the tools that are available to engage employees in establishing healthy financial habits over the different stages of their career. This will include a demonstration of our new app, Well One Money, which allows employees to view their pension alongside their wider debt and savings and provides personalised coaching on some actions they could take to save money.
