The challenge: Giving employees a reason to engage with their pensions
With most of END. Clothing's employees under 40, pension engagement was a challenge.
With retirement still a long way away, END. Clothing's workforce needed good reasons to take an interest in their pensions, and their previous pension provider wasn't giving them any.
As a modern employer, END. Clothing wanted their pension to reflect their values, culture and commitment to sustainable investing.
We wanted a pension scheme that truly resonated with our employees, offering intuitive tools, clear communications, and meaningful ways to engage with their savings. Sustainability is important to our workforce, so it was essential to partner with a provider whose values aligned with ours. We also wanted to introduce a salary sacrifice arrangement to help employees maximise their pension contributions and build greater financial security for the future.
