BR Consultancy Reports: 1/3 of Employers Worry About Staff Retirement Choices After Pension Freedom

A third of businesses are concerned that their employees will make the wrong decision regarding how to use their retirement funds.

 Burnham Resources, a recruitment consultancy based in Egham, Surrey, has recently released a news blog article about the finding, part of a research from Mercer and the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), that a third of businesses (36%) are concerned that their employees will make the wrong decision regarding how to use their retirement fund when they reach 55.

More than 160 businesses were surveyed in the CBI/Mercer 2015 Pensions survey which was undertaken partly to assess the impact of the pension freedoms; a legislation which gives people more choice and responsibility on how to use their retirement funds. The report revealed that as a result of their concerns 66% of companies are looking to introduce additional support to help with this decision including providing more guidance to members.
