Investment & Governance: eyes wide open or eyes wide shut?Aug 02, 2012
Should employees worry about investment performance? Yes. Trouble is - too few do and employers need to raise their DC governance game too, reckons Oval’s Nick Allen. Download
Why do most people work? Necessity. Incentivising the personal productivity, loyalty and innovation that helps your business to thrive? That’s another matter entirely. A blend of economics, legislation, social pressures and evolving individual requirements is profoundly altering the way businesses collectively view the commercial power of workplace benefits. Few would now argue against the importance of offering the right pension and benefit solutions that reward your people and attract the best candidates.
Oval Workplace Benefits, part of Oval Financial Services, is one of the UK’s leading specialists in designing attractive and cost efficient employment benefits that are shaped around your people. Financial planning is in our DNA: that’s why we understand that effective workplace benefits absolutely stand or fall on the quality of engagement and communication. Engagement that uses plain English to place the benefits you offer in the context of people’s personal lives, personal finances and personal aspirations – and how it’s a relatively simple step for your people to start balancing the latter two with confidence and control.
That’s the Oval difference: fresh communication, clear education and innovative, effective advice that simplify complexity for improved understanding – and superior outcomes.
From group pension schemes, NEST/Auto-Enrolment and salary sacrifice to life assurance, disability cover and legislative change compliance, we work closely with you to shape the services and solutions you need for exceptional motivational, reward and protection packages. Packages that help you lower your workplace benefit costs, reduce risk and engage your people with the knowledge they need to make informed financial choices – now and in the future.
Built on a strong service ethic and high calibre professional expertise, we are the employment benefit partner of choice for over 2,000 small, medium and corporate enterprises across the UK. For us, it’s all about doing a great job for your business and a great job for your people – one that capitalises on the power of clear communication, mutual understanding and long-term relationships.
We put your workplace first and last. So come and talk to us for workplace benefits that go further and work harder for you, your people and your business.
